You can set up templates for EDF tests. If you create an XML configuration file under the plugin/monitors
directory my_edf_test.xml
and restart the web application and DGE components, you will see the defined tests in the Administration > Devices > Tests > Create New Advanced Tests > External Data Feed (API) section. You can create additional tests with other names with same sub-type.
<monitor type="external">
<testtype>
<displayName>Sample EDF test</displayName>
<displayCategory>application</displayCategory>
<subType>edf_1</subType>
[]
</testtype>
</monitor>
Note that the monitor type is set to external
.
