Dear all,
I have noticed that when I override the network location with a site name Observium does not appear to apply the same location details that are defined in the config.php. This means that for a site such as HEX we have two locations in the drop down menu one as unknown->HEX for the overridden device and another with the proper location that is being pulled out of the config.php. Is this desired behaviour or a bug?

Hi, this possible for example if device with location (unknown->HEX) currently down. Because overrides work only in poll device process.

Thanks. I have observed this behaviour when the device is up and down.

This is probably down to the point in the code at which the override is handled.
If you put a bug on Jira, someone will probably fix it at some point :)
