Foglight 7.1.0 - User Guide

Working with templates

Foglight supports the following operations against templates:

 

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.

1
In the templates panel, click to open the Create Alarm Template dialog.
3
In the Domains drop-down, select the domains to apply to the template.
4
Click Create. The new template will be displayed.
