# Apps

App monitors are very useful for seeing an aggregation of failures or impact based on a set of checks and groups. App monitors typically correlate to Apps provisioned from HPE Morpheus Enterprise Blueprints but can also be manually created and organized. They can be great for visualizing the customer impact a failure might have or even keeping up on a screen in a NOC. To create an App monitor:

Name
:   A friendly name for the new app monitor in HPE Morpheus Enterprise

Description
:   An optional description value to identify the app monitor

Max Severity
:   The maximum severity incident a failed app may create. This setting overrides check and group max severity settings

Affects Availability
:   When checked, this failed app impacts system-wide availability calculations

App Checks
:   Use the typeahead field to select as many checks as needed to complete the app monitor. Checks are created in Monitoring > Checks and must exist prior to creating the app monitor
