Website Management sort order

Hi Ken,

Thank you for your feedback. It will be great to see that implemented in the future. In the meantime, please vote for those feature requests:

1. Search field on Website Management

2. Sort Alphabetically on Website Management

Cheers,

Karlos

This is a joke because it used to load the entire list so you could do a CTRL-F and search the page, but Sophos decided that customers don't like functionality and took that away.  It took 3 support tickets before they even admitted they changed it too.  We have started looking at Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS) as Sophos just keep making the product worse and worse.

Hi K_M 

Are you saying you are not able to use the CTRL-F function to search on our Website Management page on Central?

Thanks,
Karlos

Now that it only shows a limited number of websites at a time, no.

One thing that could help to manage this list (or call any of the APIs) would be:

1. Install the Postman Extension in Chrome. 
Any app that allows you to make requests is fine but this seems like a popular one.

2. Login to Sophos Central and visit the Website management page, i.e. https://cloud.sophos.com/manage/endpoint/config/settings/websites-tagged 

3. Hit F12 to open the Developer Tools of Chrome and switch to the Network view. 

4. Click on the XHR button and add the text filter of "local-sites?", minus the quotes as a filter.
As a result, when you refresh the website management page you see the API queries that return this data.

5. Click on the Headers tab for the request and find the "Request headers" section and you should see the header:

6. In Postman add the address of the API, e.g.
https://dzr-api-amzn-eu-west-1-9af7.api-upe.p.hmr.sophos.com/api/local-sites?limit=50&offset=0

NOTE: If you are using a different region the first part will differ.

7. Add the request header:
X-Hammer-Token
and and the value to be the <token>

8. By default the UI must set a limit of 50 but from a quick test of adding 51 entries, I can change the URL to be:

https://dzr-api-amzn-eu-west-1-9af7.api-upe.p.hmr.sophos.com/api/local-sites?limit=60&offset=0

...and all records are returned.  I assume the server has an upper limit before you have to set offsets.

The Postman app will allow you to show/view the data in a variety of formats.

Hope it helps document your entire list for you.

Jak
