Using out-of-the-box blueprints


BMC Helix AIOps provides out-of-the-box blueprints, which service designers can use as is to create services within a few minutes. 


Out-of-the-box blueprints

A BMC Helix AIOps subscription comes with out-of-the-box blueprints. However, by default, these blueprints are not visible on the BMC Helix AIOps console. As a tenant administrator, you must import and enable these blueprints. After you import the out-of-the-box blueprints, they are listed with the prefix Default as shown in the following table. These default blueprints are available for creating a service only after you enable them. For example, if you want to use the Default Blueprint for Dynatrace to monitor the application performance of a Retail service, it must be enabled first. The following default blueprints are available out of the box in the BMC Helix environment:
