When you add an application to an environment, you select from a list of predefined templates or create your own custom template, to group the objects to monitor in your application.
Where You Find Add Application
From the left menu, click Environment and then, click Applications tab. From the Applications page, click Add.
Add Applications Options
Each predefined template provides you with a list of suggested tiers designed to help you group related objects that perform a specific task in your application. After you select an option, you can alter the selection and number of tiers on the Application Management page.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Basic n-tier Web App | Use this template for any basic application. |
Advanced n-tier Web App | Use this template for an application that monitors more physical devices, such as the devices that VMware Aria Operations discovers when you add a network-related Management Pack or Management Packs. |
Legacy non-Web App | Use this template for an application that has no Web-related objects. |
Network | Use this template for an application that has only network-related objects. |
