You can customize the URL template by using variables. The variables have the following syntax

######### SECTION 8 - LIMIT THE NUMBER OF OBJECTS RETURNED BY THE QUERIES ###########
#######################################################################################
Use this section to configure: the number of results displayed for Monitor tasks, the maximum number of rows
to display on each page, and the number of direct queries to maintain in history.
This setting applies to all tasks except for Monitor critical jobs and Monitor jobs on multiple engines.
If you want to limit the number of results produced by your queries, you can specify the maximum number of items that must be retrieved.
The default value is -1; any value lower than 0 means that there is no limit in the number of objects retrieved.
The minimum number of retrieved results is 500. Because data is extracted in blocks of 250 rows,
the value you enter is adjusted to complete an entire block. For example, if you specify a limit of 500,
only 500 elements are retrieved, while if you specify a limit of 600, 750 elements are retrieved.
To set the maximum number of rows to display in a table view, configure the maxRowsToDisplay property.
To set the maximum number of direct queries to maintain in history, configure the maxHistoryCount property.
These queries are available from the pull-down for the Query field on the Direct Query page.
