I understand that. Here is my confusion. C: D: monitor WORKHOURS Uptime monitor WORKHOURS Active Directory Domain Services monitor 24x7 Ping monitor 24x7 There are more but you see what the end goal is. The problem is they all use the xiwizard_windowsserver_nsclient_service. I understand that I can ...

Alright. I have figured that whole thing out. But unfortunately, there are a lot of services that use this template. Some of those services I want to monitor 24x7. How do I break those out with out having to do it by hand? Do I just create a new template and add it?

I am trying to figure out the best way to configure my alerting work flow. For example, on an individual host I would like to have 24x7 alerts for a ping check. This would alert obviously 24x7 if the server was down. However, I would like to have a check on the Disk Usage for the C: and D: that only...
