Getting started with Applications

Nexthink Applications monitors employee experience when they are using the following application types:

Web applications monitor URL patterns accessed through web browsers, such as ://teams.microsoft.com/. For monitoring web applications, a browser extension developed by Nexthink works alongside the Collector, helping it gather additional information regarding digital employee experience (DEX).
Desktop applications monitor binaries, such as teams.exe or msteams.exe, based on the data from Nexthink Collectors.
Network applications monitor connection-based services using destinations such as IP, port, and domain name, based on the data from Nexthink Collectors.
