1 Overview
Applications are a fundamental aspect of Veloopti. Applications are used to keep dashboards and events separate from and users within an organisation. Applications in Veloopti are containers for your organisation that adapt to your teams and your monitoring environment requirements. Once you have allocated the servers and users that belong to the application, simply assign roles to your users and let them do the rest. The application roles give your users permissions to do various things such as configuring the application’s monitoring, running actions on servers, viewing dashboards, viewing events and much more.
