Use AppStack with SRM

The Application Stack, or AppStack, is a term used to describe the various layers that make up a complex application delivery infrastructure. The AppStack Environment view is an interactive visual mapping within SolarWinds Platform that provides an in-depth perspective through the entire environment to help identify the root cause of performance and availability issues.

AppStack automatically gathers information about the objects in your environment, as well as their respective relationships, and displays the information. Some relationships, such as groups and dependencies, can be defined by the user.

You can monitor the health status of storage devices along with associated entities of the storage device. The AppStack Environment reports the status of the arrays, storage pools, volumes, LUNs, servers, hosts, applications, and groups.

SRM automatically constructs a view in the SolarWinds Platform SolarWinds Platform Web Console. No configuration is needed.
