You can use monitoring templates to apply adaptive thresholds broadly across targets within your environment. For example, using a monitoring template, you can apply adaptive threshold setting for the CPU Utilization metric for all Host targets.

  2. Click Create. The Create Monitoring Template: Copy Monitoring Settings page displays.

  3. Choose a target on which adaptive thresholds have already been set and click Continue.

  4. Enter a template Name and a brief Description. Click OK.

Once the monitoring template has been created, you can view or edit the template as you would any other template. To modify, add, or delete adaptive metrics in the template:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring and then Monitoring Templates.The Monitoring Templates page displays.
  2. On the Monitoring Templates page, select the monitoring template from the list.
  3. From the Actions menu, select Edit Advanced Monitoring Settings. The Edit Advanced Monitoring Settings page displays with the Adaptive Settings tab selected.
  4. Modify the adaptive metrics as required.
