Associating a Template Collection with an Administration Group

Note:

For users that do not have View privilege on all administration groups, you can also perform the association/disassociation operation from the Groups page (from the Targets menu, select Groups).

  1. Click the Associations tab. The Associations page displays.

    Graphic shows the template/group associations page.

  2. Select the desired administration group in the hierarchy.
  3. Click Associate Template Collection. The Choose a Template Collection dialog displays.
  4. Choose the desired template collection and click Select. The list of targets affected by this operation is displayed. Confirm or discard the operation.

    Note:

    All sub-nodes in the hierarchy will inherit the selected template collection.

  5. Repeat steps 1-3 until template collections have been associated with the desired groups.

Note:

The target privileges of the administrator who performs the association will be used when Enterprise Manager applies the template to the group. The administrator needs at least Manage Target Metrics privileges on the group.

Note:

Settings from monitoring templates applied at lower levels in the hierarchy override settings inherited from higher levels. This does not apply to compliance standards or Enterprise Manager policies.

Compliance Standard Rules

When compliance standard rules are defined in different template collections at different locations in the Administration Group hierarchy, a union of compliance standard rules from all template collections across all levels of the hierarchy will be used.
