Create monitors with presets
Start from a ready-made selection of series and optional alarm suggestions.

What you need
A workspace and enough free slots for the monitor, series and any alarms you select.
How to do it
- Open Add monitor and choose what you want to monitor. Web checks open their matching setup directly. Server setup offers automatic capture or an individual parameter selection. Workflow, sensor and application setups include their matching presets.
- Choose a monitor name, review the settings and enable only the alerts you need.
- Create the monitor, connect the agent or integration where needed and verify the first real results. Setup checks permissions and available capacity before saving.
Good to know
A preview does not create resources or reserve slots. A template alone cannot send readings: connect the agent or integration afterwards.
For automation, keep the same external ID and request when retrying. Applying the same request does not overwrite later edits.
If something goes wrong
If capacity changed since the preview, check Usage and preview again. A different request with the same external ID needs to be corrected rather than repeatedly resent.
