UNIX or Linux Process
You can use the UNIX or Linux Process synthetic transaction type to determine if a particular
process is currently running on a computer running the UNIX or Linux operating systems that
have the Operations Manager agent installed. When configuring a synthetic transaction type
to determine if a process is running on a computer with a supported UNIX or Linux operating
system installed, you must provide the following information:
■
Process name
The name of the process.
■
Computer group
The Operations Manager computer group that contains the UNIX
or Linux hosts that you want to check for the process.
■
Alert sensitivity
The sensitivity of the alert to raise if the process is not running.
You can also configure a regular expression to filter process arguments to separate mul-
tiple instances of a process with the same name.

Web application availability
A web application availability synthetic transaction allows you to create a monitoring test for
one or more web application URLs to determine that they respond to basic requests. To cre-
ate a web application availability synthetic transaction, perform the following steps:

Click the Management Pack Templates node in the Authoring workspace of the Opera-
tions Manager console, and then click Add Monitoring Wizard on the ribbon.
On the Monitoring Type page, select Web Application Availability Monitoring, as
