Chapter 8 Application Protection
If the sponsor of the selected application is associated with a plug-in, removing the application has the same
effect as removing the plug-in. If the sponsor is not associated with a plug-in, all sponsorship is removed from
services, filters, and tasks.
Services Tab
The Services page displays both services that you or plug-ins specify and the services related to them by
dependency (either as dependents or depends-on). The target states of protected services for the active and
passive server can be specified and are typically Running on the active and Stopped on the passive. Services
are protected if they are Running or Automatic, and are otherwise logged as unprotected. vCenter Server
Heartbeat manages services that depend on protected services (started and stopped) but not monitored (not
restarted if stopped by some external agency). vCenter Server Heartbeat monitors protected services (restarted
if stopped) but not managed (not stopped if protected applications are stopped).
Log in to the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, click Application on the left navigation pane and click the
Services tab.
