Associate a device template to my network monitor
In cases where even after successfully adding a network monitor, a device is discovered as unknown, a device template can be added and associated with that network device. Both Default and Custom Templates can be associated with the network devices.
Follow the below steps to associate a device template to a network monitor:
- Login your Site24x7 account.
- Click Network > Network Devices.
- Click on the Network Monitor to which a template should be associated and click the Edit option.
- You will be redirected to the Edit Network Device Monitor window. Click Associate Device Template.
- In the window that pops up, select the category of the template from the drop-down list, choose the template type, and then the desired device template.
- You can also Add a Device Template from here if you do not find a suitable template in your existing list of default and custom device templates.
- Click Associate to associate the template to a set of network devices. Click Associate and Overwrite to associate and replace the performance counters of the previously associated device template, if any.
