Default monitoring configurations
Cisco Meraki provides default monitoring components that include:
- Global Device Management Policies
- Global Templates
- Global Monitors
These configurations are applied automatically upon installation. Customize them for your environment by cloning the global versions and modifying thresholds or alerting behaviour.
It is recommended to apply this customization prior to installing the application to prevent unnecessary alerts and reduce noise
