Device names are in form of serial numbers. Can I change this?

Andrej Pirman

Hi,

I am exploring Sophos CENTRAL now with a bunch of XGS firewalls and Intercept-X installations and one thing that bothers me a lot is that firewalls in logs, alarms, events and such are all named by SERIAL NUMBER. Like in example below. It is really non-friendly, as I spend a lot of time to decypher, what's going on where between which devices. 

How can I change this to display friendly DEVICE NAMES instead of serial numbers? 
Of course I have all firewalls friendly named in each XGS own config, but that looks like does not translate to "Device" field, which is in use by Sophos Central.

    It took me some 10 minutes to find out, where to add a label. But this is now becoming more and more confusing. I have:

    • firewall FQDN, set for each firewall and also SSL certificate bind to that name, which is different than...
    • firewall NAME, set at firewall level, which might be different than...
    • firewall NAME IN CENTRAL, which must be different than...
    • firewall LABEL in central firewall management

    ....but adding a LABEL seems does not influence firewall name in LOGS and ALERTS pages, where under DEVICE column it is still shown by serial number only.

    The Label will only be a cosmetic addon to the firewall management - It is not changing the configuration or anything on your Firewall.

    But it helps to better navigate.
