Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is also available in a standalone module.

Customize the AppStack view in SAM

To customize the AppStack view, click Default Layout > Change Layout Settings in the top right of the page. Modifying settings can boost performance, such as limiting the number of objects displayed, hiding empty categories, and adjusting the update interval.

You may need to log in with an administrator account to perform this action.

You can modify the following settings:

  • Limit on Up Objects Shown per Category: Objects in the AppStack Environment view are ordered from left to right, with the worst status being shown on the left side of the view. Limit the number of Up objects to provide more room for objects needing attention.
  • Object Names: Displays distressed objects.
  • Align Objects: By default, all objects are left-aligned.
  • Show Category Status Summary: The Category Status Summary are the colored numbers to the right of each category, indicating the number of objects in a particular state. This can remain visible at all times, or only when categories are collapsed.
  • Empty Categories: Select this option to hide categories with no objects, giving the view a cleaner look.
  • Update Interval: Change the time between AppStack refreshes.
