Configuring TBSM

To simplify the process for defining and configuring services in TBSM, service templates can be defined for services instances with common behavior. Rather than define each of the services and their dependencies individually, one template can be created for a type of service and then be assigned to applicable services.

Service instances represent actual services that are assigned a template. The template defines how a service responds to incoming data and the status of other services. Services of the same type should be assigned to a common template. This allows to use the same template rules to evaluate the status of multiple services.

When you assign a template to a service, you tag the service with the template. Templates eliminate the necessity of creating the same rules for a service type more than once.
