Monitor Templates are available out-of-the-box, so you can get started immediately after you finish installing the Datadog Agent and add integrations.

Navigate to the [**Monitor List**](https://app.datadoghq.com/monitors/manage) page. If you have fewer than 10 monitors, Datadog automatically recommends a list of Integration-Monitor Templates based on your installed integrations.

To browse the full list of monitor templates, navigate to the [**Monitors > Templates**](https://app.datadoghq.com/monitors/templates?q=&origination=installed&p=1) page. Filter and search all available Integration-Monitor Templates for your installed integrations as well as all available templates.
