Templates

Use templates to define monitors without duplicating code.

Templates are any object that contains the templateName key. Once you set templateName, you can add the template to any monitor using the extends key. extends must be an array.

Example: Reusable Tag Templates

templateName: missionCriticalTags
tags:
  - name: Mission Critical

---

templateName: Unimportant
tags:
  - name: Unimportant

kind: Monitor
version: 1
friendlyId: myMonitor
name: My Monitor
extends:
- missionCriticalTags
...

---

kind: Monitor
version: 1
friendlyId: myOtherMonitor
name: My Other Monitor
extends:
- Unimportant
...
