Sites

A Site is a named place - typically a physical location such as an office, a branch, or a data center - to which one or more networks can be assigned. Sites let you group networks by location, so that hosts, traffic, score and alerts can be reviewed per place rather than per individual network. A site can optionally be pinned on a map through its geographic coordinates.

Note

Sites are available with an Enterprise M (or higher) license.

Sites are managed from the Networks page. At the top of the page two tabs are available, Networks and Sites: select the Sites tab to switch to the sites view.

The Sites Page

For each site the following information is shown:

• Name: the display name of the site.

• Description: an optional free-text description.

• Networks: the networks currently assigned to the site.

• Location: the site coordinates (latitude and longitude). The location is shown only when coordinates have been set.

The Default Site

A predefined Default site is always present and cannot be removed. Every network that has not been explicitly assigned to a site belongs to the Default site, which therefore acts as a fallback. Being a reserved site, the Default site cannot be edited or deleted, and its actions are disabled in the table.

Adding a Site

From the Sites tab, click the + button at the top of the table to open the creation form, then fill in the following fields:

• Name (required): from 2 to 32 characters. Only letters, numbers and spaces are allowed (accented letters are accepted). The name must be unique: two sites cannot share the same name.

• Description (optional): up to 256 characters.

• Location (optional): set the position either by typing the Latitude and Longitude values, or by clicking directly on the map below the fields. The map marker and the coordinate fields stay in sync, so a click updates the values and typing updates the marker. Latitude must be between -90 and 90, longitude between -180 and 180.

The Site creation / edit form

Click Save to create the site. If a value is not valid (for example a duplicate name) the form reports the error and the site is not saved.

Editing a Site

In the Sites tab, use the edit action on a site row to reopen the same form with the current values pre-filled. Update the fields as needed and click Save. The Default site is reserved and cannot be edited.

Deleting a Site

Use the delete action on a site row and confirm to remove the site. The Default site is reserved and cannot be deleted.

Note

Deleting a site does not prevent removal when networks are still assigned to it. Any network that was assigned to the deleted site falls back to the Default site.

Assigning a Network to a Site

Networks are not assigned to a site from the site form. Instead, the assignment is done from the Networks tab: edit a network and choose the desired site from the list. The Site column in the networks list shows the site each network currently belongs to. Networks left unassigned remain part of the Default site.
