Monitoring objects Configuration : Using Templates
   
Using templates
Even though Configure makes it easy for you to add and change the configuration of op5 Monitor it is still a lot of things to edit and tweak. To make the software even more easy to use templates have been built in.
There are three types of templates to use:
host templates
service templates
contact templates
op5 Monitor comes with a couple of predefined templates for each object type described above. They are just there to be examples and you should really create your own.
How they work
Any directive set in a template will be used in the objects using the template. But if you set a directive explicit on an object that value will override the templates.
Any directive not set in neither a template or directly on the object will have the op5 Monitor default value.
If you change any value on a directive in a template it will only be valid on the objects where the same directive is not set explicit.
