In the hopes to increase automation for IT, it would be GREAT if SAM could automatically add a set of templates to a host based on group membership
Below are some example rules:
- If a host is identified as being WINDOWS, add the Windows Server Services and Counters template
- If a host is added to a group called "Exchange Servers in Washington DC", add the Exchange Monitoring Template
By automatically adding specified monitor templates based on already defined group criteria, we are reducing the amount of manual work that the Monitoring admin needs to perform, and reducing the potential for forgetting about a template that should have been assigned. This extra piece of automation - especially when combined with dynamic group memberships is hugely powerful.
