In the Host Mapping Table, add the location name and IP address for each location. In the Load Balancer table, fill in the right Site URL for each location. If the location name is not filled in or if it is not filled in the Host Mapping table, the site status will become Not Listed. On the Import Host Mapping page, you can import a CSV file to update the Host Mapping table. This is also available with the Import Host Mapping button just above this table.
You can enable or disable the URL checks and change the polling interval. The Control table gives you functionality to start and stop a server.
