I would like to see a set of rules/monitors grouped in different levels, such as:</p> <p>Minimum: Basic set of rules/monitors for AD health and availability</p> <p>Optimum: Recommended/extended set of rules/monitors for AD health and availablity</p> <p>Maximum: All rules/monitors enabled</p> <p>The default, out of the box configuration, for ADMP appears to enable too many rules. It would be very helpful to have a guide for starting out with the MP with a set of rules/monitors and optimize them before going to the next level.</p>
