Click the Content button to view or change the list of objects that Traffic Server is scheduled to update
automatically in the local cache. You can instruct Traffic Server to explicitly preload objects in to the cache,
thereby increasing Traffic Server performance.

Configuring Traffic Server using Traffic Line

You can use Traffic Line to view and change your Traffic Server configuration as an alternative to using
Traffic Manager. The advantage of using Traffic Line is that it is a command-line interface, therefore, you do
not need to have a browser installed on the remote system from which you want to perform the configuration.
You can set configuration options using Traffic Line's Configure mode or Traffic Line's batch mode.
