Exports a monitoring template. You can export a template to the file system in the form of an XML file, or you can print it on standard output in XML form.

Format

emcli export_template
      -name=<name>
      -target_type=<target_type>
      [-output_file=<file_for_exported_template>]
      [-archive]

[ ]  indicates that the parameter is optional

Options

• name

  Name of the template. The name and target type uniquely identify a template.

• target_type

  Target type of the template.

• output_file

  Specifies the file to output the template. If not specified, the template prints to stdout.
