Edit configuration files

Description

This option will allow you to edit the configuration file(s).

Notes:

    If you change the log file name, you must remove the previous log monitoring service associated with this log file and recreate the service. See Manage monitored guests logs

• the network interface "eth1" will be added whereas this interface does not exist,
• a virtual disk that does not exist will be added

When the editor will be closed, in our case 'vim', the checks will be performed:

After solving those issues, we following output is displayed:
