Can we get some screenshots? I'd like to see the page where you configured the template, as well as the contents of the template. The contents can be viewed by going into the CCM, finding your template, and clicking the icon on the right to view output. Paste that here, and be sure to censor any sensitive information.

Here are the screenshots below.
The first one is the information of the Template. The second one is the te,plate settings and the last once is the service settings.

What is the setting in your template that "didn't apply to the service"? If you are talking about the highlighted value in the $ARG3$ field, it is normal - you have this value defined on a service level. The local settings always override the template settings...

So to make the template work, I must leave the local settings empty?

Yes. Empty or "Skip" will allow for inheritance. Setting the value or "Null" will block inheritance.

Where do I find this Skip?
As about the Null, I can see it only when you click on the Manage Hosts/Manage Hostgroups/Manage Servicegroups button .

It should inherit your check command, and argument values if you leave them blank, for the rest of the options you should have a radio dial named Skip under a number of them in Alert Settings, and Check Settings inside your host/service configurations in the CCM.

Thanks
