Enterprise Manager ships with a complete out-of-box policy library encompassing performance criteria for numerous target types. The majority of these policies are enabled by default. Depending on your monitored environment, this can potentially result in an inordinate number of policy violations being generated. To prevent this situation, you can disable policies that are not required for your monitoring environment. Monitoring templates make it easy to disable policies for large numbers of targets simultaneously.
Note: You can also use Monitoring Templates to enable policies for large numbers of targets. See procedure below.
Create a Monitoring Template:
From the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console, click Setup.
Click Monitoring Templates. The Monitoring Templates summary page displays.
Click Create. Enterprise Manager instructs you to select a target.
Choose a target that is representative of the targets on which you want to disable specific policies. You can search for available targets by clicking on the search icon (flashlight).
Specify a Monitoring Template Name on the General page
Click the Policies subtab to view a list of current policies. Add new policies if necessary.
For each policy you want to disable, click the edit icon (pencil) to access the Edit Policy Rule Settings page and set Policy Evaluation to Disabled.
Once you have finished disabling the policies, click OK.
