Add Monitors to a Template or the Policy

Add monitors to the template that are specific to the workload handled by a server or a server group. The following procedure is similar for adding monitors to a policy.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Monitoring Templates and appropriate subcategories.

   The Template List page appears.

2. Select the template in the Template List.

   The Summary page for the template appears.

3. Click Monitors and select the monitor you want to add.

   To create monitors, you define the settings, which specify the threshold and severity values for the following monitors:

   • Create a Threshold Monitor
   • Create a Process Monitor
   • Create a Log File Monitor
   • Create a Windows Event Monitor
   • Create a History Monitor
   • Create a Process Group Monitor
4. (Optional) Repeat the process for any additional monitors.
5. Click Save.

   The monitor is loaded to the policy or the template.
