configured in the matrix and enables you to manage and monitor them

from a single screen.

Applications Overview

An application provides a way to group associated matrix resources

(virtual hosts, service monitors, and device monitors) so that they can be

treated as a unit. Using the Applications tab, you can quickly determine

whether clients are able to access the applications. If a problem occurs,

you can drill-down the affected application to locate the resource

experiencing the problem.

application name or select an existing application. It you add a service

monitor to the virtual host, it will automatically be added to the

application. Similarly, you can specify a new or existing application when

you create a device monitor.

If you do not specify an application name when you create a virtual host,

the application will use the IP address of the virtual host as the
