Prerequisite
Before assigning a template, remember the following points:
- You can assign only one template per synthetic monitor. Monitoring does not work as expected if you assign more than one template.
- Templates should match the type of synthetic monitor. For example, assign DNS templates to DNS synthetic monitors.
- To get alerts for configured metrics from all the configured locations assigned to a template, you must enable the Alert option and configure the Component Threshold for each metric while creating the template.
- If you make any changes to a synthetics template, remember that the template won’t update automatically. You need to reassign the template to the synthetic resources to apply those changes.
- Monitoring starts only after assigning templates to your synthetic monitor.
