== Configuring an Application Alias" An Application Alias directs the created event to the application that it belongs in. No event in Veloopti is able to exist without having an application so this is required. If the command is run with an application alias that does not exist the following error is generated:

C:\>veloopti-event.exe /app=AppNOtExist /sev=Warning /short="This is the short description"
