Usage Instructions
Step 1: Add this Host Template
Add the Application - Active Directory - Database Host Template to your Opsview Monitor host. If the resource you're monitoring has no hostname or public IP, then open the Advanced settings pane and change Host Check Command to Always assumed to be UP.
For more information, refer to Opsview Knowledge Center - Adding Host Templates to Hosts.
Step 2: Add and configure variables required for this Host Template
The Service Checks in this Host Template use the following variables, and they will be added to your Opsview Monitor instance when you import the Opspack:
