  • Changes can be made only to fields such as Template Name, Target, Domain/IP Address, Test Type, and Comments when modifications are required.

  • In this case, only the httpsping port has been updated - it has been changed from 80 to 443. Other fields such as Template Name, Target, and Domain/IP Address have not been changed.

  • If a particular test type is not required, unchecked its checkbox to deselect it. For example, tcpping was not required, so its checkbox has been unchecked to remove it from the configuration.

  • After all necessary updates have been completed, click confirm to apply the changes, and then click Save.

  • To permanently store the configuration, click the Save button.

Important Notes for Users​

  • Templates help standardize monitoring configurations — use clear and meaningful names.
  • Always verify Domain/IP and Port numbers before saving.
  • Only enable test types that are required to avoid unnecessary monitoring load.
  • Use Remarks to describe the purpose of the template for future reference.
  • Multiple targets can be added inside a single template for grouped monitoring.
  • Editing a template immediately updates monitoring behavior — review carefully before saving.
  • Deleted templates cannot be recovered once removed.
  • Only authorized users should modify or delete templates.

FAQs​

Q:1 When editing a template, why is there a 'Confirm' button followed by a 'Save' button?

The Confirm button is used to apply the changes temporarily within the editing session. It ensures that the modifications (such as updating a port, changing a test type, or editing a domain/IP) are validated and reflected in the template before final storage. The Save button is then required to permanently store the updated configuration into the system database. Without clicking Save, the changes confirmed during editing will not be retained. In summary: Confirm → Validates and applies changes during the edit session. Save → Commits those changes permanently to the system.
