>Assume, you're searching for a specific set of templates to
monitor a special type of device. Apart from designing templates
from scratch, there's a good chance to find a solution in the

The set of templates is usually provided as a single XML file holding all
required definitions for a data template and a graph template. Depending on
the goal of the original author, he/she may have provided a host template
as well as part of this XML file.</P

>If the XML file was downloaded, you may import it from the filesystem
via the search button. As an alternative, you may want to cut and paste
the XML into the textbox.</P
><P
>Please pay attention the the <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Import RRA Settings</B
>.
By default, current RRA settings will be preserved, even if the imported
XML file specifies different settings. This is recommended to avoid accidentally
overwriting these global RRA definitions. If you are sure, you may override
this default.</P
><P
>For a single OID based template, this will be all. For a script based
template, the author will provide the script that has to be downloaded
to the Cacti <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>./scripts</TT
> directory. For a SNMP/SCRIPT Data Query,
a second XML file holding the Data Query definitions will have to be downloaded
to the appropriate directory under <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>./resources</TT
>.</P
><P
>When importing templates, Cacti will perform a version check. All XML templates
hold the version of the Cacti system that generated this XML set. Cacti will
import only, if your current Cacti version equals or is higher than the exporting one.</P
