# Application Service Templates

Application service templates can be used to instantiate [application services](./service.md) on [devices](../dcim/device.md) and [virtual machines](../virtualization/virtualmachine.md).

!!! note "Changed in NetBox v4.4"

    Previously, application service templates were referred to simply as "service templates". The name has been changed in the UI to better reflect their intended use. There is no change to the name of the model or in any programmatic NetBox APIs.

## Fields

### Name

A service or protocol name.

### Protocol

The wire protocol on which the service runs. Choices include UDP, TCP, and SCTP.

### Ports

One or more numeric ports to which the service is bound. Multiple ports can be expressed using commas and/or hyphens. For example, `80,8001-8003` specifies ports 80, 8001, 8002, and 8003.
Closes: #18588: Relabel Service to Application Service (#19900) * Closes: #18588: Relabel Service model to Application Service Updates the `verbose_name` of the `Service` and `ServiceTemplate` models to "Application Service" and "Application Service Template" respectively. This serves as the foundational change for relabeling the model throughout the user interface to reduce ambiguity. To preserve backward compatibility for the REST and GraphQL APIs, the test suites have been updated to assert the stability of the original field and parameter names. This includes: * Using `filter_name_map` in the filterset test case to ensure API query parameters remain `service` and `service_id`. * Employing the GraphQL test suite's aliasing mechanism to ensure the public schema remains unchanged despite the underlying `verbose_name` modification. Subsequent commits will address UI-specific labels in navigation, tables, forms, and templates. * Rename to Application Services/Application Service Templates in nav menu * Rename ~service to ~'Application Service' in templates This was done for both the Service model and Service Template model appearances in templates where the word was hardcoded. * Change ~service to ~'application service' hardcoded strings in Python files * Update ~service to ~'application service' in docs 2025-07-21 09:22:27 -04:00			`# Application Service Templates`
