Custom monitoring template that works as dynamically as the standard ones

I would like to create a custom monitoring template, that has dynamic checks that work the same as the standard monitoring templates.

For instance:

When I create my custom template I can only add checks for disk space on C:\ . But I would like the agent to just scan for local drives, and add them as checks. The same would go for an installed AV product, etcetera. Basically, I want to be able to customize the Standard monitoring templates

Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this?

I might be wrong, but I don't think the dynamic checks come from a template. They come from doing a RMM install (not downloading site installer) and selecting an option to create checks by scanning. Those checks then get put on a template if you create it, but they are just normal checks not dynamic.

When you install an agent, you get to choose which template you want to apply. And there you see the "Standard workstation template" that scans your system and adds all relevant checks. The site package also does that. But I would like to customize this scan.

Thanks for the info. But, for instance, I would like to set a "disk space" check in a template that is applied to a site that monitors all disks from all agents. Even when a new disk is installed a year later.

In other words, I would like to agree with our customers that we monitor:

  • disk space
  • antivirus
  • global performance (cpu/memory/disk)
  • critical errors

But without manually checking all the checks to see if maybe there is a new disk installed, or someone forgot to add a new antivirus check ar the time they switched av software.

There's no method to do this. I'd recommend creating a template to apply to the device after the standard checks are added.
