# Create a target


A **target** is what StatHall supervises: a mobile application, a Unix
server. Everything else — connectors, alerts, summaries — hangs off a
target.

## Add an application

1. **Targets → New target**, then **Application**.
2. Give it a name. The technical identifier (the *slug*) is derived from it
   and used in URLs; it does not change afterwards.
3. Provide at least one platform identifier — the iOS bundle id
   (`com.example.myapp`), the Android package name, or both.
4. On the next step, connect your connectors. You may skip it and come back
   later: a target without connectors is valid, it simply has nothing to
   show.

## Add a server

1. **Targets → New target**, then **Server**.
2. Name it. StatHall then generates an **agent token shown once** and the
   install command to paste on the machine.
3. Copy the token before closing. If it is lost, generate another one — the
   previous one is revoked.

The agent installs with a single command and only reads: no remote
execution, no change to the machine.

## How many targets

The hosted instance applies a **fair-use cap** per account. It is an
infrastructure guardrail, not a commercial tier: StatHall is free and does
not bill for it. If you hit it with a legitimate use, write to us — and
nothing stops you from self-hosting, that is what the AGPL licence is for.

## What happens next

As soon as a connector is configured, collection starts on the next cycle
without waiting for you. First data shows within minutes; the full store
history takes longer to backfill.
