This chapter describes how to set up configuration documents suitable for use with the Configuration Importer. Contructing Configuration Documents Manually

To construct a configuration document suitable for use with the Configuration Importer, Ivanti recommends using the following approaches:

- **Using the REST API Guide**: Consult the Virtual Traffic Manager: REST API Guide to find all the available configuration objects and their properties. This information can be used to construct appropriate configuration documents to represent the desired Traffic Manager configuration.
- **Admin UI**: Build and test the configuration using the Admin UI, then perform REST API calls to retrieve the configuration for each object and write it into a configuration document.
