The Alert Templates window allows you to configure generic alert settings that you can apply to servers and groups of servers in your organization. Alert templates save you time and help you avoid mistakes by simplifying alert configuration across your environment. SQL Diagnostic Manager allows you to export and share an existing alert template in the IDERA community site to suit your needs when alerting on your monitored SQL Server instances.

- Select
> Alert Configuration Templates. - Select the template from the list and click Export.
- In the Save As dialog box, indicate in which folder and under what name to save the alert template XML file.
