# Monitor the health of application services on the Application Services dashboard

Use insights from the Application Services dashboard to reduce the number of incomplete application services by populating them and adding missing data. To use application services effectively, ensure that application services
are fully configured and are populated.

## Before you begin

Role required: itil_admin or app_service_admin

## About this task

The dashboard queries for Application Services by checking for those records in the Application Service \[cmdb_ci_service_auto\] class in which the value of Service classification is Application Service. Reduce the number of incomplete application services by [editing application services](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/TjfTKQ6qxrwpy2RF7QWMlA "Create an application service to adhere to CSDM standards and to standardize the organization, maintenance, and monitoring of services in your organization.") and populating any empty attributes. For example, if an application service isn't configured with a service population method, configure a service population
method for the application service.

The Application Services dashboard is fully integrated into the [Insights view in CMDB Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/~3RVvA73ckmKDq1vrY9GlQ "Use the Insights view in CMDB Workspace to see and increase the level of adoption of key CMDB features and application services to improve the overall health of the CMDB. Explore how tools and features can maximize the health and efficiency of your CMDB and use direct links to install and start using features immediately.") and refreshes on a 24-hour cycle during night hours.

## Procedure

1. Follow either navigation step to access the Application Services dashboard:  
   * Navigate to WorkspacesCMDB Workspace and then select Insights on the CMDB Workspace menu bar. On the Insights view, select the Application services tile.
   * Navigate to AllCSDMApplication Service Dashboard.
   {#app-service-dashboard__ul_cbx_ntd_4bc}
2. View the tiles on the Overview tab, which show application services in which basic configurations are incomplete.  
   * Total Application Services: Count of all application services, complete and incomplete.
   * Population method defined: Count of application services for which a service population method is specified.
   * Population method not defined: Count of application services missing a service population method. Data for the tags and top down discovery methods appear only if Service Mapping is installed.  
     Note:  
     Some population methods for application services are available only with [Service Mapping](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ServiceMappingOverview&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US) and therefore won't appear in the tile if Service Mapping isn't installed.
   * Application services types: Chart of application services by population methods such as Dynamic CI Group and Manual, including application services without a population method (Empty). The chart includes business services that were converted to application services.
   * Application services missing data: Chart of application services by key data that is missing, such as service offering and owner. For example, the bar 'No Service Offering' shows application services without any relationship with a business service or a technical service.
   {#app-service-dashboard__ul_xxs_4kw_klb}
3. View counts on the Application service coverage tab, which shows application services in which other configurations are potentially incomplete.  
   * Application Servers: Total number of application servers. The number of those which aren't in any application service and a breakdown of those application servers by class.
   * Databases: Total number of databases. The number of those which aren't in any application service and a breakdown of those databases by class.
   * Hardware Servers: Total number of hardware servers. The number of those which aren't in any application service and a breakdown of those hardware servers by class.

   {#app-service-dashboard__ul_v1g_flw_klb}  
   Note:  
   Application servers, hardware servers, and databases, not included in application services, are counted only up to about 100,000, even if the actual count is greater than this limit. This number limit is determined by the value of the [glide.cmdb.csdm.app_service.max_results](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kQGAdgp~vF3TaIbyggfgEw "Several types of components are installed with activation of the Application Service [com.snc.cmdb.it_service] plugin, including tables, user roles, and scheduled jobs.") property.
4. Select Owned by, Support group, or Change Group to filter the list of application services that are included in the dashboard, by a key attribute.  
   A filter doesn't impact counts of application services in which the respective filter attribute is missing. For example, filtering by Owner, doesn't change the count of the Missing Owner card.
5. Select a tile in either tab on the dashboard to drill down to the associated CIs list view.  
   For example, select the Population method not defined tile to see the CIs list view of application services without a population method.
{#app-service-dashboard__steps_hr2_2kw_klb}

## What to do next

Update application services with any missing important details:

1. Navigate to CSDMManage Technical ServicesApplication Services.
2. In the Application Services list view, select an application service to edit.
3. Add the missing details.For details about configuring an application service, see [Create application service](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/TjfTKQ6qxrwpy2RF7QWMlA "Create an application service to adhere to CSDM standards and to standardize the organization, maintenance, and monitoring of services in your organization.").
