> HertzBeat has custom monitoring ability. You only need to configure monitoring template yml to fit a custom monitoring type.  
> Custom monitoring currently supports [HTTP protocol](extend-http)，[JDBC protocol](extend-jdbc), [SSH protocol](extend-ssh), [JMX protocol](extend-jmx), [SNMP protocol](extend-snmp). And it will support more general protocols in the future.

## Custom Monitoring Steps

**HertzBeat Dashboard** -> **Monitoring Templates** -> **New Template** -> **Config Monitoring Template Yml** -> **Save and Apply** -> **Add A Monitoring with The New Monitoring Type**

### Custom Monitoring Metrics Refresh Interval

HertzBeat now supports setting different refresh intervals for various groups of monitoring metrics. This can be configured in the monitoring template under the `metrics` section by setting the `interval` field, with the unit being seconds. If not set, the default refresh interval specified during the creation of the monitoring will be used.

-------

Configuration usages of the monitoring templates yml are detailed below.

### Monitoring Templates YML

> We define all monitoring collection types (mysql,jvm,k8s) as yml monitoring templates, and users can import these templates to support corresponding types of monitoring.
>
> Monitoring template is used to define *the name of monitoring type(international), request parameter mapping, index information, collection protocol configuration information*, etc.

eg：Define a custom monitoring type `app` named `example2` which use the HTTP protocol to collect data.

**Monitoring Templates** -> **Config New Monitoring Template Yml** -> **Save and Apply**

```yaml
# The monitoring type category：service-application service monitoring db-database monitoring custom-custom monitoring os-operating system monitoring
category: custom
# The monitoring type eg: linux windows tomcat mysql aws...
app: example2
# The monitoring i18n name
