Default Monitoring Configurations
Dell Avamar provides default monitoring components that include:
- Global Device Management Policies
- Global Templates
- Global Monitors
These configurations are applied automatically upon installation. You can customize them for your environment by cloning the global versions and modifying thresholds or alerting behavior.
It is recommended perform the following customization before installing the application to prevent unnecessary alerts and notification noise.
Default Global Device Management Policies
Find the the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies. Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{appName nativeType - version}Ex : dell-avamar Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server - 2 (i.e, appName = dell-avamar, nativeType = Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server, version = 2)
Default Global Templates
Templates are available at Setup > Monitoring > Templates. Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}Ex : dell-avamar Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server Template - 2 (i.e, appName = dell-avamar, nativeType = Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server, version = 2)
Default Global Monitors
Monitors can be found at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors. Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{monitorKey appName nativeType version}Ex : Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server Monitor dell-avamar Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server 2 (i.e, monitorKey = Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server Monitor, appName = dell-avamar, nativeType = Dell EMC Avamar Backup Server, version = 2)
