Device Template For multiple 2003 servers with different thresholds?
Say I have several classes of 2003 application server.
Monitors are using WMI.
A) Type 1 that needs to say monitor free disk space by GB, threshold of less then 10 gigs.
B) Type 2 that needs to monitor disk space by GB, threshold of say less then 50gigs.
It would appear you cannot create two device templates using the same OID or name like "Windows 2003". So you make one with a OID "Windows 2003 A" and "Windows 2003 B" but now you cannot apply the profiles to any devices because the list of devices is empty....
Not all thresholds are going to be the same for all 2003 servers, yet you cannot assign monitors any other way then one by one on each server that is different then the template....and if you re-apply a template in mass you will overwrite your custom monitors....
Does anyone else have this issue? How to you deal with it?
