    Modifying a Template

    Greetings

    Looking through the templates that came "out of the box" - in this case "Windows By Zabbix". On our test system we are getting a high number of "Disk read/write request responses are too high" and I want to reduce the frequency.

    I can see in the macros where the expression:
    Code:
    min(/WS2019-DEV/perf_counter_en["\PhysicalDisk(0 C:)\Avg. Disk sec/Read",60],15m) > {$VFS.DEV.READ.AWAIT.WARN:"0 C:"}
    is used and I can see how I can change the value of the macro $VFS.DEV.READ.AWAIT.WARN to override at the host level.

    What happens if I want to change the original template so that all hosts that are using this template get modified? I'm having difficulty finding out for example, how I would increase the "15m" in the expression above. I got as far as the expresion editor in the template but the fields do not appear to be editable.

    I'm sure I'm missing something very basic but having spent a few hours hunting the net for relevant info I thought I would appeal to the community.

    Thanks

    Nigel.

    Open the template and edit it.. It will affect all hosts, where this template is attached. I have a feeling, you find the correct place from discovery and trigger prototypes...

        Much appreciated - I was only two steps down the inheritance rabbit hole when I needed to be three.
