application discovery rules

In BMC PATROL, a set of rules stored by the PATROL Agent and periodically evaluated to find out whether a specific instance of an application class exists in the monitored environment. The rules describe how a PATROL Agent can detect instances of the application on a computer. There are two types of application discovery: simple and PSL. PSL discovery can include prediscovery rules as well as discovery rules.
