Foglight 6.1.0 uses alarm templates to gather alarm rules into a domain-specific template that is easily modified and applied to targets. You can customize how the alarms generated by the default Foglight for Oracle rules are triggered and displayed in by assigning alarm templates via the Alarm Template Settings tab. You can apply an existing template, create a new template using an existing template as reference, or create a template based on an agent. All changes to alarm templates apply to the selected agents.
Refer to Viewing, Creating, and Managing Alarm Templates in the Foglight 6.1.0 User Guide for more information.
The Alarms list controls the contents displayed to the right and the tasks that are available.
