App Sources

The App sources enables a generic definition of the Apps logs/folders/servers sources which will be added to all used search queries in the dashboard's gadgetswidgets.
For example if the App's dashboards should refer to servers x, y, z then it is possible to specify this directly in each gadgetwidget's search query. Alternatively, it is possible to use generic queries in the gadgets widgets and specify the list of sources in the App Sources section.

Using App Sources makes it very simple to duplicate, maintain and manage the list of sources that will be analyzed by the App's dashboards. Image Removed
