Software AG Platform Manager is a monitoring and management component that provides performance management capabilities for Software AG products. It runs as a wrapper service process on UNIX and Windows platforms. The service is identified by its distinctive wrapper.displayname argument, which specifies Software AG Platform Manager along with version information.

Platforms supported by the pattern

The pattern discovers Software AG Platform Manager deployments on the UNIX and Windows systems.

Identification

To run a discovery of the product, the pattern must be triggered by the wrapper process with command matching (?i)[\\/]wrapper(?:-[\d.]+)?(?:\.exe)?$ and arguments containing wrapper.displayname=Software AG Platform Manager.

(?i)[\\/]wrapper(?:-[\d.]+)?(?:\.exe)?$    wrapper\.displayname=Software\s+AG\s+Platform\s+Manager
 

Versioning

Version information for the product is collected by using the argument extraction versioning method.

Application model generated by the software pattern

If the pattern discovers a SoftwareInstance of Software AG Platform Manager, it defines the application model for the SoftwareInstance, which includes a SoftwareInstance node with the following attributes:

  • key: <si_type>/<host.key> (for example, Software AG Platform Manager/<host.key>)
  • name: Software AG Platform Manager <product_version> on <hostname> (or without version if not available)
  • short_name: Software AG Platform Manager <product_version> (or without version if not available)
  • type: Software AG Platform Manager
  • version: full version extracted from arguments (for example, 10.5)
  • product_version: Major.minor version extracted from full version (for example, 10.5)
  • install_root: Installation directory path extracted from the wrapper.conf path or command path

Pattern trigger

The Software AG Platform Manager pattern is triggered by detecting the wrapper process (which may include version numbers in its filename, such as wrapper-3.5.30.exe or simply wrapper) with arguments containing wrapper.displayname=Software AG Platform Manager. This combination ensures accurate identification of Software AG Platform Manager instances on UNIX and Windows platforms.

SI depth

The Software AG Platform Manager pattern creates an instance-based software instance. The key is based on the product type and host.
