Component

Description

Application Name

Name of the application whose details you are viewing. If your system is integrated with TrueSight IT Data Analytics, An action menu is displayed next to the application name. Select Launch TrueSight IT Data Analytics to perform root-cause analysis on events in the application.

Automatic

Indicates whether the application model was automatically generated (Yes), or manually created in the TrueSight console (No)

For information about the different kinds of application models, see Application-models.

Importance

Importance of the application in your network

Set the importance when you create an application, or modify an automatically discovered application.

Severity

Current severity of the events in the application or the application's devices

For information about the severity levels, see Viewing-the-health-of-applications-in-your-network.

Open Events

(Infrastructure Management) Number of events associated with the application

The total number of events is the sum of the number of events in the open, acknowledged, and assigned states. Click a number to display event details on the Events tab. For more information about events, see Monitoring and managing events from the TrueSight console.

Devices

(Infrastructure Management) Number of devices associated with the application

Devices can also be a part of a group. The total number of devices displayed might not be a sum of the devices in the different states because a device can have events in different statuses. Click a number to display device details on the Devices tab. For more information about devices, see Monitoring devices from the TrueSight console.

Click the Collapse/Expand Summary icon collapse_summary.png/expand_summary.png to display or hide the application summary.

(Synthetic Monitor) For applications with synthetic transaction monitoring enabled, you can investigate the status of the synthetic transaction executions to identify and diagnose application issues.

If synthetic monitoring is enabled for a manually created application, the Synthetic Health tab opens by default.

For information about synthetic health, see Investigating-application-issues-reported-by-synthetic-health-events .

(App Visibility Manager) For applications that are automatically discovered, and manual applications with synthetic transaction monitoring, you can investigate problems with application performance and availability and drill down to application diagnostics.

If the application is automatically generated, the Application View tab opens by default.

Note:

Close an Application Management server event only from the Applications View tab. Closing an App Visibility event from the events tab results in a mismatch between the number of Open Events (under Application Summary section) and the displayed events list. When you close the App Visibility events from the events tab, the events get closed only in the console view and not from the Application Management server.


For information about the Application View, see Investigating-severity-and-impact-of-application-issues.

Model tab

Examine your network's application models to pinpoint the exact impact area in an application and drill down to each node and find its status.

If the application is manually created and synthetic monitoring is not enabled, the Model tab opens by default

For information about application models, see Viewing-an-application-model.

Events tab


(Infrastructure Management) Examine all the events associated with the application as a snapshot of the Events view.

Note:

Close an Application Management server event only from the Applications View tab. Closing an App Visibility event from the events tab results in a mismatch between the number of Open Events (under Application Summary section) and the displayed events list. When you close the App Visibility events from the events tab, the events get closed only in the console view and not from the Application Management server.


For information about events, see Monitoring and managing events from the TrueSight console.

Devices  tab
