Configure default observer settings

Component observers are configured with default settings when a component is registered. The default observer settings can be updated to meet the specific monitoring needs of your organization. Once updated, the settings can be applied to observers across all registered components. You must be assigned the Administrator or Manager role to configure and apply default observer settings.

Tip:

To update observer settings for a group of observers, update their settings on the Monitoring page.
