• Do not hide Advanced configuration in Alarm Configuration - By selecting this option, you can always have all the advanced options expanded by default in the "Configure Alarms" and "New Threshold" screens.

This is to aid customers who require only the critical configurations and they may not be interested in fine grained configuration of thresholds & alarms.

• Add Host as a Monitor when you associate a service running in it to the monitor group - By default, when you associate a Monitor (service or server running in particular host) with a Monitor Group, the host (in which the Monitor runs) is also associated with the Monitor Group.

For example, if you are add and associate a monitor (say WebSphere) with a Monitor Group, Applications Manager will add and associate the host (say Windows) also in which the WebSphere runs with that Monitor Group.
  Note: This host will be monitored only if you have provided the required configuration information.
