Monitoring Point Types

Monitoring point types are used to group related monitoring points.

Monitoring point types allow users to configure a reusable template for multiple monitoring points. When a user configures a monitoring point, it is linked to a monitoring point type.

The values specified for a monitoring point type are the default values for a monitoring point which is linked to it. For example, the parameters configured on a monitoring point type will be the default parameters for a monitoring point which is linked to it. So, values can be preconfigured on the monitoring point type in order to be re-used by monitoring points of the same type. Values can also be configured individually on each monitoring point.
