                "password": "maxpwd"
            }
        },
        "relationships": { // List of server relationships that this monitor uses
            "servers": {
                "data": [ // This monitor uses two servers
                    {

                        "type": "servers"
                    },
                    {
                        "id": "server2",
                        "type": "servers"
                    }
