Device Template Name: The device model name. This will be determined as the device model in the inventory list.
Vendor Name: The vendor name of device. You can either select from the existing list of vendors or add a new vendor.
Category: The category your device belongs in (server, desktop, WLC, storage devices, etc). This helps OpManager categorize similar device types together and organize better. You can either select from the existing list of categories or add a new one. Learn more about device categories.
Monitoring Interval: The interval at which OpManger contacts the device for availability monitoring. You can also edit the monitoring interval of devices in bulk or category wise from the Quick Configuration Wizard under Settings. Learn more.
Device Image: A image or icon that represents a particular device type. You can either select from the available set of icons or create a customized image.
Device Identifier: Device identifier is a vendor's authoritative identification (sysOID) value to determine the device model. You can either manually add the sysOID or let OpManager fetch the value by querying the sysObjectID (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2) from RFC1213 MIB if the device is available in OpManager. If you are yet to add the device, you can query through the MIB Browser to identify the sysObjectID. How to query sysOID using MIB browser? Note: Please note that every sysID should be unique and should not be repeated for multiple device categories or types. You will not be able to create two device templates with the same sysOID value. However, to differentiate similar devices with different templates, multiple sysOID criteria can be included while specifying the device identifier. For example, if a Linux Redhat and Linux Ubuntu device types hold the same SysOids, it can be classified using different sysOid criteria. Learn more.
Associated Monitors:A set of monitors that are automatically associated with the devices during discovery. You can either
Edit Thresholds: Helps you edit the thresholds values of the associated monitors. Select the monitor and edit thresholds to receive alerts and notifications accordingly.
Associating templates: Once monitors are assigned and thresholds are set, you can further customize how it should reflect. The 'Associate' option lets you apply the changes to monitors added in the future. The 'Associate and Overwrite' option lets you overwrite the changes to all the existing monitors.
