- Entities provide a method of fine-tuning Agents in order to attain a broader scope of the monitoring
- They help identify and monitor specific workloads
- For example: assessing the impact of an application or user on CPU and Memory

Sysload categorizes Entities into "types" according to their function and definition method:
- Enables Entity analysis of specific applications by tracking processes
- Enables Entity analysis of specific applications by tracking user or group of users (and processes)
- Prefer using User instead of Application to track all processes run under a specific user (The Agent Collector will consume less resources)
- Enables Entity analysis of a Windows service
- Storage (also called Storage Space)
- Creates an Entity for a file system or a group of file systems
- Mainly used to report on storage space consumption by Applications (by duplicating storage consumption metrics in the Application domain)
