To configure the Listener agent to a different port
To configure the GUI Web server to listen to a different port
To configure the Precise agents to use a specific user for authentication
Click OK.
Normally, the Precise Framework Installer uses the default Local system account number for authentication. To configure a different user, check mark “Precise agents authentication”, enter the User name, Password, and the Domain or machine name. |
To configure multiple Listeners, you must also configure the Listener to listen to a different port. For more information, see Configuring the Precise FocalPoint Listener to a different port. If you want to install additional Listeners on the same server (for example in cluster applications), verify that each new Listener is given a different port number, and a different Unique ID. |
To configure multiple listeners on the same server
The server on which Alerts is installed, is configured to use a maximum of 128 MB RAM by default. This amount of memory will not always be able to accommodate the number of instances that you have in your system. As a result memory issues will be shows in the alerts.focalpoint.out
and alerts.informpoint.out
files. The solution to this is to change the memory configuration of the Alerts FocalPoint and Alerts InformPoint.
The following table displays rule-of-thumb memory values.
Table 3-1 Memory values
Amount of Instances | Memory Values (for FocalPoint and InformPoint) |
---|---|
Up to 100 | 128 |
101-400 | 256 |
401+ | 512 and higher* |
* The memory values for the amount of instances that is higher than 400 should be increased to a value based on the system’s needs. Although 512 MB is a rule-of-thumb for 400+ instances, you may need more.
It is still possible that memory issues show up in the alerts.focalpoint.out
and alerts.informpoint.out
files after you have updated the memory values according to the table. In that case increase the memory.

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) is a comprehensive server-monitoring solution that improves the availability, performance, and security of Windows-based networks and applications. It provides central monitoring and automatic issue resolution for networks that may scale to thousands of computers.
The Precise Management Pack provides integration with Precise’s Application Performance Management (APM) Precise solution. It receives real-time alerts from the Precise alerting product, Alerts, which gathers performance and availability information from all instances monitored by Precise. Viewing Precise alerts in Microsoft Operation Manager (MOM) reduces the need to continuously monitor the Precise product consoles for new issues.
If you want to integrate Alerts with the MOM server, you need to verify that the Web service, Microsoft Operation Manager Connector Framework that is installed on your default server, supports Basic authentication.
To verify Basic authentication support on MS IIS
This section describes how to install the Precise APM Management Pack. For this you need the Precise Alerts MP.akm file and its location (by default this file is located in the Utilities\Alerts\MON MP folder in the Precise download or on the DVD).
