Overview

When you implement inheritance, for example, you assign an Event Log Consolidation Template to the Agent Devices Host Group, and one of the hosts listed under the host group, either does not require the Template or requires a Template that has been configured differently than the Template you have assigned to the host group, you can explicitly add Templates and Reports to an exclusion list.

For example, if you have a Host Group called Servers and you assign 3 Windows domain controllers, a Linux email server and an Event Log Consolidation Template to the Host Group, use the Exclude Templates option to exclude the Event Log Consolidation Template from the Linux server. Once excluded the Event Log Consolidation Template not be scheduled to run against the Linux server and will not display as an assigned template in the Explorer view under the Linux server.
