# Order a Monitoring Package
#
# Build a SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Monitoring_Package object for a new
# monitoring order and pass it to the SoftLayer_Product_Order API service to order it
# In this care we'll order a Basic (Hardware and OS) package with Basic Monitoring Package - Linux
# configuration for more details see below
