Managing Connection Templates

A template includes pre-defined connection settings and one or more application mappings. Examples of pre-defined templates available in IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps are ChatOps and Vmware, which you can access in Manage connections > Create connection.

You can use a template to quickly create a new connection, or to add application mappings to an existing connection. You can easily modify the application mappings to meet the unique requirements of the connection.

Create Template

Click Create template button to open the page:

  1. Provide a name and a description for this template.
  2. Select the connection upon which the template is based.
  3. Select the application mappings for the template.

Once you create a template, you can use it to simplify the creation of future connections.
