Symantec ApplicationHA 6.2: Monitoring applications with Intelligent Monitoring Framework
Introduced in this release, the Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) feature improves ApplicationHA efficiency with:
- Faster detection of application faults
- Ability to monitor a large number of application components, with minimal effect on performance
IMF is automatically enabled, if you use the Symantec High Availability Wizard to configure an application for monitoring.
The feature was introduced in ApplicationHA 6.1 for Windows. In ApplicationHA 6.2, it is extended to AIX, Linux, and Solaris.
For details, see the following topics:

- Enabling debug logs for IMF: AIX, Linux (KVM), Linux (VMware), and Solaris.
- Gathering IMF information for support analysis: AIX, Linux (KVM), Linux (VMware), and Solaris.
This release introduces IMF support for the folloing ApplicationHA agents:
- Apache HTTP Server
- DB2 Database (not applicable to Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment)
- Oracle Database
- Generic (custom) applications
The following topics describe how to use the Symantec High Availability wizard to configure each supported application for IMF-enabled monitoring:
- Configuring application monitoring for Apache: AIX, Linux (KVM), Linux (VMware), and Solaris.
- Configuring application monitoring for DB2: AIX, Linux (KVM), and (Linux (VMware).
- Configuring application monitoring for Oracle: AIX, Linux (KVM), (Linux (VMware), and Solaris.
