Methods and apparatus to manage a dynamic deployment environment including one or more virtual machines. A disclosed example involves: (a) automatically scanning the virtual machines in the deployment environment to identify a service installed on any of the virtual machines; (b) automatically determining whether the identified service corresponds to a service monitoring rule; (c) when the service corresponds to the service monitoring rule, automatically determining whether a monitoring agent identified by the service monitoring rule is installed on the virtual machines on which the service is installed; (d) when the monitoring agent identified by the service monitoring rule is not installed on the virtual machines on which the service is installed, automatically installing the monitoring agent on the virtual machines on which the service is installed; and (e) when the monitoring agent identified by the service monitoring rule is installed on the virtual machines on which the service is installed, automatically configuring the monitoring agent to monitor the service in accordance with the service monitoring rule on the virtual machines on which the service is installed, wherein (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) are repeatedly performed without human intervention.

Methods and apparatus to manage monitoring agents

Methods and apparatus to generate a customized application blueprint are disclosed. An example method includes generating an application definition for an unmanaged application associated with a first computing unit, selecting a first logical template associated with an unmodified version of a service provided by the first computing unit, generating an application blueprint including the first logical template, modifying the first logical template included in the application blueprint based on a first property of the first computing unit, inserting a dependency between a first logical template representative of the first computing unit and a second logical template representative of a second computing unit, and deploying a managed application according to the application blueprint to implement the unmanaged application.
