I need to create multiple http sensors per device and clone them to many other devices. I'd rather not have to edit the host name in the URL every time I clone to a different device.
The URLs will be something like http://ServerName:91/Appname/aspnet.aspx
I tried %device, [%device] in place of ServerName with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately all of my URLs will have a port number.
Appreciate the response though.
