1 Configurazione di un modello

Panoramica

La configurazione di un modello richiede innanzitutto la creazione di un modello tramite la definizione dei parametri generali, in seguito si aggiungono le entità (articoli, trigger, grafici, ecc.) ad esso.

Creating a template

To create a template, do the following:

Go to Configuration → Templates
Click on Create template
Edit template attributes

The Templates tab contains general template attributes.

All mandatory input fields are marked with a red asterisk.

Template attributes:

Parameter	Description
Template name	Unique template name. Alphanumerics, spaces, dots, dashes, and underscores are allowed. However, leading and trailing spaces are disallowed.
Visible name	If you set this name, it will be the one visible in lists, maps, etc.
Templates	Link one or more "nested" templates to this template. All entities (items, triggers, graphs, etc.) will be inherited from the linked templates. To link a new template, start typing the template name in the Link new templates field. A list of matching templates will appear; scroll down to select. Alternatively, you may click on Select next to the field and select templates from the list in a popup window. The templates that are selected in the Link new templates field will be linked to the template when the template configuration form is saved or updated. To unlink a template, use one of the two options in the Linked templates block: Unlink - unlink the template, but preserve its items, triggers, and graphs Unlink and clear - unlink the template and remove all its items, triggers, and graphs
Groups	Host/template groups the template belongs to.
Description	Enter the template description.

The Tags tab allows you to define template-level tags. All problems of hosts linked to this template will be tagged with the values entered here.

User macros, {INVENTORY.*} macros, {HOST.HOST}, {HOST.NAME}, {HOST.CONN}, {HOST.DNS}, {HOST.IP}, {HOST.PORT} and {HOST.ID} macros are supported in tags.

The Macros tab allows you to define template-level user macros as a name-value pairs. Note that macro values can be kept as plain text, secret text, or Vault secret. Adding a description is also supported.

You may also view here macros from linked templates and global macros if you select the Inherited and template macros option. That is where all defined user macros for the template are displayed with the value they resolve to as well as their origin.

For convenience, links to respective templates and global macro configuration are provided. It is also possible to edit a nested template/global macro on the template level, effectively creating a copy of the macro on the template.

The Value mapping tab allows to configure human-friendly representation of item data in value mappings.

Buttons:

	Add the template. The added template should appear in the list.
	Update the properties of an existing template.
	Create another template based on the properties of the current template, including the entities (items, triggers, etc) inherited from linked templates.
	Create another template based on the properties of the current template, including the entities (items, triggers, etc) both inherited from linked templates and directly attached to the current template.
	Delete the template; entities of the template (items, triggers, etc) remain with the linked hosts.
	Delete the template and all its entities from linked hosts.
	Cancel the editing of template properties.

With a template created, it is time to add some entities to it.

Items have to be added to a template first. Triggers and graphs cannot be added without the corresponding item.

Adding items, triggers, graphs

To add items to the template, do the following:

Go to Configuration → Hosts (or Templates)
Click on Items in the row of the required host/template
Mark the checkboxes of items you want to add to the template
Click on Copy below the item list
Select the template (or group of templates) the items should be copied to and click on Copy

All the selected items should be copied to the template.

Adding triggers and graphs is done in a similar fashion (from the list of triggers and graphs respectively), again, keeping in mind that they can only be added if the required items are added first.

Adding dashboards

To add dashboards to a template in Configuration → Templates, do the following:

Click on Dashboards in the row of the template
Configure a dashboard following the guidelines of configuring dashboards

The widgets that can be included in a template dashboard are: classic graph, graph prototype, clock, plain text, URL.

For details on accessing host dashboards that are created from template dashboards, see the host dashboard section.
