Description: This table is used to describe and link sets of performance metrics and protocols to an entry in the application directory. This table, with the tpmMetricDefTable, describes the capability of the agent to collection sub-application level data related to each entry in the apmAppDirectoryTable.

This table lists the protocol transactions and their corresponding performance metrics that this agent has the capability to compute and collect, for the specified application. There is one entry in this table for each such application, protocol transaction, and metric combination supported by this agent. The entries in this table represent the metrics that are collected for each protocol transaction that comprise the application. The agent should boot up with this table pre-configured with those combinations of applications, protocol transactions, and metrics that it knows about and wishes to

monitor. Implementations must populate the table with all possible application, protocol transaction, and metric combinations and have the default configuration objects set to supportedOff(2). This table does not support the creation of new combinations by the management application.

The deletion of an entry in the apmAppDirectoryTable will cause the removal of entries from this table. These entries must be removed because the appLocalIndex value will no longer be visible in the apmAppDirectoryTable. When an entry is created in the apmAppDirectoryTable and the agent has the ability to support metrics for these protocol transactions, the appropriate entries must be made in the tpmTransMetricDefTable.
