Editing
an

Application

Template

Definition
You
can

edit

the

XML

code

of

an

application

template

definition

file

from

within

ANM

using

the
template
editor

that

comes

with

ANM,

or

you

can

export

the

template

definition

file

and

edit

it

outside
of
ANM

using

an

XML

editor

or

text

editor

such

as

WordPad.
To
help

you

understand

how

a

template

can

be

edited

to

suit

your

particular

requirements,

this

section
includes
an

example

that

involves

editing

the

probe

information

in

the

Basic

HTTP

system

template.

In
the
code

editing

example,

the

probe

interval

value

is

changed

from

a

set

value

of

60

seconds

to

a

variable
with
a

default

of

60

seconds.

This

change

allows

you

to

configure

the

interval

value

when

you

use

the
template
to

create

an

application

template

instance

(see

the

“Creating

an

Application

Template

Instance”
section
on

page

4-4 ).
