Edit location - Main for Autodiscovered locations
If Auto create locations is checked on the controller, then on save, locations are automatically created in the current folder based on location information in the controller. Each location is assigned an autodiscovered name and discovered devices and watches are placed in the correct location.
Autodiscovered name is auto-generated on creation of an SD-WAN controller. Autodiscovered name cannot be changed in Highlight. Autodiscovered names differ for supported vendors and use the following information:
Cisco Meraki: Network name (these update if changed in the Meraki dashboard)
Cisco Catalyst: "Site " followed by the Site ID
Fortinet: Device name
Location name initially matches the autodiscovered name but can be changed. The location name displays everywhere in Highlight instead of the autodiscovered name if it has been changed.
Use the revert arrow to revert the location name to the autodiscovered name.
Edit location - Business Hours
Highlight uses business hours when displaying traffic trend graphics, for filtering report results, and when generating alerts.
See the Business Hours page for further details on the settings involved.
