Creating a new template

Foglight supports two methods for creating new templates: creating a new template from scratch and duplicating an existing template (see Duplicating a template).

The primary difference between the two methods is that duplicating an existing template copies any custom configurations in that template, while creating a new template uses the domain defaults.

When creating a new template, the default alarm configuration for the selected domains will be populated. Any changes to the default configuration will be applied to targets of this template. Future changes to the default alarms will not be applied to the new template.

To create a new template:
1
In the templates panel, click to open the Create Alarm Template dialog.
2
Enter a template name and description
3
In the Domains drop-down, select the domains to apply to the template.
4
Click Create. The new template will be displayed.
5
Make any desired changes to the template. Refer to Viewing template information and Attaching Targets to Templates.

Duplicating a template

To duplicate a template:
1
In the templates panel, hover over the template to be duplicated. The more actions icon will appear. Click to view the available actions.
2
Click Duplicate.
3
Complete the Duplicate Alarm Template dialog, using the below information as a guide:
•
Give the new template a unique name and accurate description.
•
Click the Domains drop-down to select the domains to which the new template should apply.
When duplicating a template, the list of available domains is restricted to those included in the original template. If you are duplicating the factory template, you can choose from the full list of domains. If you are duplicating a different template, then only the domains included in that template will be available.
4
Click Create.
5
[Optional] Set the new template as the default template. Refer to Setting Default Templates.
* 
NOTE: The duplicated template will not contain any targets. To apply the template to targets, see <targets>.

Setting Default Templates

Any alarm template can be set as the default template for the domains associated with that template. Domains can have only with one default template. Any object in that domain that is not associated with another alarm template will have the default template applied.

To set a template as default:

In the templates panel, hover over the template to be used as the new default. The more actions icon will appear. Click to view the available actions.
