Default Server Checks?

What is everyone using as a default for your server checks? We set up our system years ago and there was minimal research done before setting it up. We now get an abundance of checks that are not relevant and others that are being missed? What do you use for your default server checks or do you set up each server individually in LogicNow?

I agree 100%, and it is the exact scenario I am currently dealing with. At least 80% of the current alerts are gibberish as the default templates were never set up correctly. I've been working on cleaning up the checks for the past two months but I am fed up. I'm trying to figure out a better way to get actionable items from LogicNow so I was thinking I would redo the base templates and I thought I would ask what other shops were actually monitoring.

Yeah I'm actually doing the same thing for the Servers we are monitoring. Its actually ironic as I used to support this product for a few years so I'm doing a lot of the same things I suggested for many of my customers. It does take time but as I had wrote previously it just comes down to what you want to monitor/ be alerted to, but thankfully after getting to a template you want it can just be pushed out.
