What is it?
If Application naming was done properly when setting up Naming Conventions, OverOps will automatically create views for these applications. These are called automatic application views.
Why use it?
- Having application names set will allow logical grouping of events into the applications that emitted them.
- Notification routing can be easily setup for the teams that manage these applications
How to enable?
-
Recommended approach!
If the “Application Name” is properly setup on the agent during the naming conventions setup then you can setup OverOps to create the view automatically.- This feature is available by default if initially setup with Version 4.28.0 and newer.
If system was initially setup prior to Version 4.28.0 please enable this feature.
Administrator privileges required.
- This feature is available by default if initially setup with Version 4.28.0 and newer.

If custom application naming needs to be setup, this will have to be done manually by creating a view, saving that view , and creating any notification routing that is required.
