Overview of the monitoring template
The Performance Management products enable you to define alarms and reports with the following methods:
Alarms and reports provided by a PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server constitute a monitoring template. Because all required information is already defined for the alarms and reports in a monitoring template, you can use them as provided, or customize them as appropriate for your environment. This enables you to complete the preparations for monitoring the operating status of a desired program without having to use the wizard to define new reports.
This chapter describes the alarm and report settings in the monitoring template that are defined by PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server.
For details about using the monitoring template, see the chapter on creating reports used for operation analysis or the chapter on alarm-based operation monitoring in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
