3 Components of an application

Components of an application are able to be viewed and configured depending upon your permissions.

3.1 Visible to all application users

3.1.1 Dashboards

Dashboards can be created for the nodes in the application from the policies or API that are collecting metrics.

3.1.2 Nodes

Nodes that have been added to the application appear here. Nodes are able to have application policies deployed to them, application actions associated with them and their metrics can be visible for display in a dashboard.

3.1.3 Users

Once a user is added to the application they are able to be added to roles within the application.

3.2 Visible only with appropriate permissions

3.2.1 Actions

Actions are command line applications or commands that can be run on a server with a Veloopti agent. The application or command can return a result that will be displayed back to you after it is completed.

3.2.2 Permissions

Roles can be created or deleted with permissions applied to the role. After selecting a role permissions can be enabled or disabled.

3.2.3 Policies

Policies can be created, modified and deleted. After being created policies are put into a policy group that can be associated with a node group for deployment.

3.2.4 Roles

The one or more roles that you have in an application determines the items presented that you are to perform. Everyone is able to see all events, users and nodes in an application. From here your role determines any additional permissions that you may have. There are five default roles available within an application.
