Creating Custom, Tagged Templates
Another advanced customization option is to use the tag option (-t on the
command line), which allows the collector/analyzer to recognize customized
templates that have a tag attached to the name. This option provides you with the
flexibility of using more than a single set of templates to define conditions
pertaining to specific installations of WebLogic Server.
When multiple nodes are managed by a number of groups, this option allows you
to create specially tagged templates that are obviously separate from your
original setup. In such a case, you would make copies of the templates, rename
them with the tag and re-work the collector template to pick up the tagged
names, then assign them to the various groups.
For example, you might create a group of templates and change each template
name to include
CLIENT01 in it. A metric monitor template might be named
CLIENT01-WLSSPI_0012 (retaining the metric number, which must be used).
The collector template name would be named
FIRST_CLIENT-61_05min.You
could then set up another group for SECOND_CLIENT and change all those
templates to include the
SECOND_CLIENT in the name.
To create the new template group:
1. Copy the original template group: In the Message Source Templates
window select the group and click the Copy... button.
2. Name the new group according to how you plan to identify the new monitor
and collector templates; for example, if you are including FIRST_CLIENT
in the template names, include that within the new template group name.
3. In the Message Source Template window expand the new template group to
show all templates and select each template you plan to use, click the
Copy... button, and rename it according to your naming scheme.
