+These templates have to be used with dedicated agent configurations and ressource tagging to works as expected.

+### How to contribute ? ###

+The easiest way to contribute on this repository is to add monitors file inside the monitors repository.
+
+### Important notes ###
+
+*This repository will be included as a Terraform module source. 
+*Each monitors have to be disabled by default, so you have to manage this condition when you create your monitors.
+*If you override a basic monitor with a custom one, you have to use tag filters on you query. (Example dd_cpu_high, if you want to override default cpu monitors)
