Template Collections
As mentioned earlier, template collections are used to provide a consistent set of metrics to a group of similar targets.
Monitoring templates are created by target type, and are bundled together to form a template collection. A separate
collection should be created for each node in the hierarchy. For example, a Production Targets group would be
associated with a Production Targets template collection consisting of monitoring metrics of different target types.
Once these templates have been associated, Use of template collections helps you to automate the deployment of
monitoring standards using the metric thresholds and policies defined in the monitoring templates.
To create a template collection, choose Setup Add Targets Administration Group. Click the Template
Collections tab to create the collections, as shown in Figure 7-16 . This assumes that you have already created your
monitoring templates for your targets. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Administrator's Guide for
details on setting up monitoring templates.
Figure 7-16. Adding template collections
There should be one monitoring template for each target type in the administration group node. Monitoring
templates should be carefully designed so as to provide effective monitoring while reducing white noise. Review the
monitoring templates after they have been created to ensure that key components are being monitored.
After all required template collections have been created, click the Associations tab to associate each node in
the hierarchy with a template collection starting at the second level (the level after the All Administration Group). All
targets that are members of the node as well as targets within the subgroups will inherit the metrics of the templates.
You can see that this association of nodes with template collections greatly enhances the ability to automatically
enforce standards within the IT infrastructure. Review each node in the hierarchy to verify that the state has a valid
association. Look for the words Valid Association , as shown in Figure 7-17 .
