5. Application Sharing Feature

AppControl offers a convenient feature for sharing applications with specific users. This can be done in two ways: either by generating a sharing code, which can be distributed among users to access the application, or by sharing the application directly with a specific user by entering their username. This feature simplifies collaboration and access management, ensuring the right users can easily interact with the applications they need.

7. Status Page

The Status Page in AppControl provides a detailed overview of the availability and health of your critical applications. This page displays the percentage of availability for each application, allowing you to monitor uptime and quickly identify potential issues over the past few days.

Key Features:

  • Application Availability: Shows the percentage of time each application was available and running smoothly, helping you assess the stability and reliability of your applications.
  • Historical Data: Analyze the performance of applications over a specific period (e.g., the last 7 or 30 days) to gain insights into trends or recurring issues.
  • Color-Coded Indicators:
    • Green: High availability (e.g., > 75%)
    • Yellow: Moderate availability (e.g., 50-75%)
    • Red: Low availability or critical issues (e.g., < 50%)
  • Interactive Graphs: Visual representations of uptime fluctuations, making it easy to visualize downtime and availability trends.

This page helps ensure that your applications maintain high levels of availability and reliability by providing a clear and actionable view of their performance over time.

8. Integration with Legacy and Cloud Applications

Seamlessly monitor both legacy on-premise applications and cloud-native services without requiring any modifications to existing applications.

9. Automated Recovery

While automated recovery avoids restarting components by default, you can schedule auto restarts using built-in cron expressions to meet your operational needs.
