Hello,
Is there a way to duplicate a monitor, essentially avoiding writing the same configuration more than once if the configuration applies to all.
Any help would be great?

Hi @erikg and thanks for using Synthetics!
In the UI today, there's no way to save a template or profile. But, we did just merge [a patch](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/169928) that will expose the CRUD functionality as a documented public API. As of now we are expecting this to release in 8.14.0 but it is of course subject to change.
Alternatively, you can look into [project monitors](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/synthetics-get-started-project.html). This is a gitops-themed method of maintaining monitors that allows you to treat them as code. If you want to generate lots of monitors quickly this is a way of doing it in a maintainable and version-controlled way.
I hope that helps, please let us know if you have further questions!
