Real-time monitoring, guided troubleshooting, and automated remediation, combined with employee sentiment and adoption, enable you to achieve higher employee satisfaction and productivity. {% embed url="" %} {% hint style="info" %} Depending on your current licensing model, certain capabilities of Nexthink Applications may require an additional license. Contact your Nexthink representative for more information. {% endhint %} ## Key benefits and use cases ### Solve application performance issues across your organization When a business-critical application slows down or misbehaves, employees lose time and get frustrated, often before IT even knows there's a problem. Applications closes that gap, surfacing performance issues and their root cause early enough to act before they disrupt the business. ### Gain a complete view of application value with AHEAD AHEAD brings adoption, health, efficiency, license affordability, and employee satisfaction into a single, decision-focused view for each application, so you know whether it's worth the investment and where to focus next. Refer to [AHEAD](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/ahead.md) for more information. ## Get started with Applications ### Resolve application performance issues Diagnose page load, reliability, and transaction issues for a web application. Refer to [Page loads](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/performance/page-loads.md), [Reliability](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/performance/reliability.md), or [Transactions](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/performance/transactions.md) for more information. ### Monitor application health and adoption Get a decision-focused view of adoption, health, efficiency, affordability, and employee satisfaction for a web application in one place. Refer to [AHEAD](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/ahead.md) for more information. ### Use out-of-the-box applications Install an application from Nexthink Library instead of configuring it from scratch. Refer to [Managing applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/setting-up-and-managing-applications/managing-applications.md) for more information. ### Create your first application Configure a new web, desktop, or network application for monitoring. Refer to [Configuring web applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/setting-up-and-managing-applications/configuring-applications/configuring-web-applications.md), [Configuring desktop applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/setting-up-and-managing-applications/configuring-applications/configuring-desktop-applications.md), or [Configuring network applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/setting-up-and-managing-applications/configuring-applications/configuring-network-applications.md) for more information. ### Track guide engagement across your applications See how employees interact with deployed in-app guides and identify where adoption needs a boost. Refer to [Guides](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/guides.md) for more information. *** RELATED TOPICS * [Monitoring applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications.md) * [Managing applications](/platform/user-guide/applications/setting-up-and-managing-applications/managing-applications.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/applications.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
