Working with Existing Applications

Viewing Application Details​

Click on any application name in the main list to see its full details page.

You'll see:

  • General Info section: Application name, environment, description
  • Sources section: Complete table of all monitoring components
    • Each row shows the source (IP/URL/hostname) and its O11ySource type
    • A search bar to filter sources if there are many
    • Pagination controls if you have 10+ sources

Editing an Application​

To modify an existing application:

  1. Find the application in the list
  2. Click the edit icon (pencil) in the Actions column
  3. You can now:
    • Update the application name or description
    • Add new sources (click + Source)
    • Remove existing sources (click the delete icon)
    • Change the environment (in some cases)
  4. Click Save when done

What You Cannot Change:

  • You cannot modify the original unique identifier (internal ID)—this stays the same for system tracking
  • Some environments may be locked if sources are actively reporting data

Deleting an Application​

To remove an application:

  1. In the main list, click the delete icon (trash) in the Actions column
  2. Important: If the application has sources attached, the system will warn you
  3. Review what will be affected
  4. Click Confirm to proceed, or Cancel to keep it

What Happens After Deletion:

  • The application is removed from Application Workbench
  • All attached sources become unassigned (marked as "undefined" in O11ySource)
  • Historical data and alerts are preserved for audit purposes

FAQs​

What happens when an application is deleted?

Deleting an application removes the application grouping but does not delete monitoring data, alerts, or historical records. The attached sources become unassigned from that application.

Can I edit an application after it is created?

Yes. You can edit an application to update details, add new sources, or remove existing sources. Changes are reflected immediately.

What happens if a source stops reporting data?

The source remains attached to the application, but monitoring views may show missing or stale data until reporting resumes.

Can sources be added or removed outside Application Workbench?

Yes. Source instances can also be associated with applications directly from O11ySources, and those changes appear automatically in Application Workbench.
