    # TEMPLATES.CFG - SAMPLE OBJECT TEMPLATES
    #
    # NOTES: This config file provides you with some example object definition
    #        templates that are refered by other host, service, contact, etc.
    #        definitions in other config files.
    #
    #        You don't need to keep these definitions in a separate file from your
    #        other object definitions.  This has been done just to make things
    #        easier to understand.
