Locations

A location is a logical grouping of hosts. The grouping can be based on any criteria you choose, such as geographical placement or organizational ownership. Locations are a useful way to organize a set of hosts.

For example, you could group all hosts in New York separately from hosts in San Francisco and assign them to locations named “New York” and “San Francisco”. Similarly, you could group hosts in a location named “Sales” and others in the location “Marketing”.

A location can contain any number of hosts. For information on adding hosts to locations, see About Adding a Host.

Note: ArcSight Management Center includes one location by default (called Default) but you may add any number of locations. The name of the Default location may be edited, and the location itself may be deleted.
