# Modifying Monitors

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

You can modify monitors in API Functional Monitoring, which includes the options to edit the monitor
as text fields or to edit the monitor as BAT source. Additionally you can download the monitor as
BAT source, edit the monitor in your text editor of choice, and then upload the monitor. You can
modify a monitor from either the homepage or the monitor’s detail page.

## Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the following permissions set in Access Management:

- **Anypoint Monitoring > Viewer** or **Anypoint Monitoring > Administrator**

  and

- **Exchange > Exchange Administrator** or **Exchange > Exchange Contributor**

An Anypoint Platform administrator for your organization grants permission. See
[Manage Permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/managing-permissions).

## Modify a Monitor from the Home Page

To modify a monitor from the homepage:

1.  Hover over the name of the monitor you want to modify.

2.  Click **Edit** (![afm ui edit button](/mulesoft/current/en-us/api-functional-monitoring/_images/afm-ui-edit-button.png)).

## Modify a Monitor from its Details Page

To modify a monitor from its detail page:

1.  Select the monitor that you want to modify.

2.  Click **More** (![afm ui more button](/mulesoft/current/en-us/api-functional-monitoring/_images/afm-ui-more-button.png)) next to the monitor name.

3.  Click **Edit Monitor**.

You can edit the endpoints' **Validate SSL Certificate** toggle setting, methods, URLs, optional
headers, and assertions. See [Creating Monitors](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-functional-monitoring/afm-create-monitor) for more detail on the fields.

Click **Switch to code editor** to edit the monitor as BAT source. For more details, see
[BDD Test-Writing Syntax Reference](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-functional-monitoring/bat-bdd-reference).
