# Monitoring and managing service instance settings

The Service instance dashboard enables you to monitor and manage service instances \(service instances were formerly called application services\) to confirm that they are fully configured and are populated in the CMDB.

## Working in the dashboard

A report on the dashboard, for example, can direct you to a service instance that is not configured with a service population method so you can repair it. For information on working in the dashboard, see [Use Service instance \(Application Services\) dashboard to monitor health](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/app-service-dashboard.md).

**Note:** Before the Australia release, this dashboard was called the Application Services dashboard.
