http content import for several hundred websites?

Hi, I have 300-400 websites that I would like to watch with SAM, using the http content template. I would need to customize the search string for each site, and then run the test on all of the load balanced servers that host the sites. The http content template works fine, but I am dreading the need to create and apply a separate template for each site that we host. Is there a faster way to do this, ie uploading a work sheet/csv and letting SAM read it and create the templates for me? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid there is no method for creating, customizing and application templates in an automated manner. However once these application templates are defined you can use the application discovery process which will automatically assign these application templates to your nodes. We do have an outstanding feature request for creating and modifying application templates via the Orion SDK/API. Would this satisfy your requirement?

I think it might. Anything would be better than manual entry of all this .

Ideally it could read a file with the url, content search text, and the node to run against. Similar to the xml export, but have everything in one file.
