Application Detail Widget
The Application Detail widget shows information for a selected application or other container resources that
have at least one child container resource. The top of the widget shows the number of containers, resources,
and metrics that the application or container resource contains and the number of Smart Alerts and classic
alerts on the application or container resource.
Figure 4‑3. Application Detail Widget
For each container resource, the Application Detail widget shows the icons for the health of each resource in
that container, the container name, the metric sparkline for the last 24 hours, the container's current health
score, and the number of active Smart Alerts and classic alerts for the container itself.
The Application Detail widget shows only container resources that have at least one child container. It does
not show information for child resources.
Configure the Application Detail Widget
If the Application Detail widget is a self provider, you can select a tag value to monitor in the widget. You
can also configure the column arrangement in the widget.
You can also configure other widgets to provide an application or container resource to the Application
Detail widget. See “Configure Widget Interactions,” on page 61.
