Manage Locations

Overview

You can logically group your NGINX instances and instance groups by their physical locations using the Locations settings page in the F5 NGINX Controller web interface.

Note:
By default, NGINX Instances are added to the unspecified Location. The unspecified Location is a system-owned resource that can’t be updated or deleted.
