[[File:Application_menu_Items.png|thumb|350px|Applications are found by clicking on the application name in the application list view]]
Applications are a self contained collection of monitoring settings. Application roles give the users capabilities to do various things. Servers are added to an application where they have various monitoring settings applied through the use of groups. Users are added to an application where their roles grant them permissions to do things in the application like write and deploy policies or run actions on servers.
=== Users ===
:''{{TNT|Main|User}}''
An application user is a user in the organisation that has been added to be a member of the application. Every user is able to see all users, nodes and dashboards within the application. Your role membership(s) determines what you are able to see and do beyond this. Your user group membership determines the event notifications that you are subscribed to. Your Global role memberships also contributes to the final permissions that you have.
=== Nodes ===
:''{{TNT|Main|Node}}''
A node is a network endpoint. A server is a computer that has a Veloopti agent installed on it. Once a node is in Veloopti it can be added to any number of applications. The node has policies deployed to it according to the application node groups it is a member of. Actions are able to be run on a node according to the application node groups that it is a member of.
=== Dashboards ===
:''{{TNT|Main|Dashboard}}''
=== Policies ===
:''{{TNT|Main|Policy}}''
A policy is monitoring configuration setting that are deployed to one or more groups of servers in the application. The servers send metric data and events that are visible to the users of the application. Policies deployed to a node can only be edited from the application that they reside in.
