Templates are a powerful feature but it
is not well documented how to setup templates for classes of servers like: Linux Server, Windows Server, Windows Desktop, Mac Desktop, Linux Desktop. These standard monitor templates can be a default configuration or an alternate
configuration where the admin needs
to only add the name and IP as a member of a group using the template and it inherits a basic set of monitoring checks. I actually could contribute my setup as a
starting point. Contact me if interested: jeffrey@JANOAH.net http://JANOAH.net
