    how to copy a monitor?

    i have a public websiteX load balanced over 4 IIS servers with an F5 big IP.  

    to fully monitor it, need to have one web watcher each for 6 IP addresses: each of the IIS servers, the F5 address, and the public address.

    so that's 6 web watchers that will always do the same thing. but i can't find a way to copy/paste a web application monitor, in scom, so i have to configure each of them separately. which is bearable until i start complicated testing and/or recording browser sessions.

    is there any way to duplicate a monitor, or at least most of its settings, and then point it at a new address???

     In the current version of Operations Manager 2007 SP1, there is not yet a method to do that. I'm hoping that M$ will have heard the complaints of not having the copy paste function in the gui for rules/monitors etc and will have this available in R2. Not sure yet if this is going to be included yet or not.
