TEMPLATE BASED MANAGEMENT OF SERVICES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of configuring a computer-implemented monitor for monitoring a computer controlled service, the method comprising:
- accessing a selected monitoring template representing predefined monitoring functions;
displaying a set of user interface configuration displays defined by the selected monitoring template;
receiving a configuration input through the set of user interface configuration screens indicative of user configuration of the predefined monitoring functions represented by the selected template; and
generating, with a computer processing unit, a service definition based on the selected template and the configuration input that indicates monitoring functions to be performed on the service.

Abstract
One exemplary embodiment uses templates that define certain features of a given service type, wherein the features are common to all services of that service type. The template can be configured by a user to obtain a service definition for the given service. The service definition is passed to a programmability layer and provides enough information that the programmability layer can construct the various monitors, rules, classes and tasks required to monitor the given service without further customization by the user. In one embodiment, the user can also customize the service definition, a desired, in order to obtain additional monitoring.
