Location

Country

Select the country where the site is located.

If you select a location on the map, or enter coordinates or location, the field is updated with the respective country. However, if you select a country from the drop-down list, the same is not reflected on the map.

Time Zone

If you select a location on the map, or enter coordinates or location, the field is updated with the respective timezone. However, if you select a country from the drop-down list, the same is not reflected on the map.

Site Groups

Select the site groups to which the site should belong, if any.

If no site group is available, you can type a name for the site group and press Enter to create the site group.

Site Proxy

You can use a proxy server as an intermediary between your local network and the Internet. Using a proxy server can provide extra security as well as more control over your network.

To integrate a proxy server, enter the proxy URL. The recommended format is: http://user:password@proxy.internal:8080.

Once site proxy is enabled, all the traffic will then go through the proxy server. The proxy server will change the client’s IP address to its own and send the traffic to the remote system. The traffic from the remote system will be handled in the same way.

Webhooks enable you to get notifications on third-party applications when the events that you have subscribed for occur. If you enable webhooks, you must select the type of events for which you want to receive notifications.
