Configuring Host Attributes

Host attributes are used for:

  • Basic host information such as Hostname and Description.

  • Associating custom data to hosts.

  • Setting host classifications.

  • Setting the control-host status.

To modify host attributes data via the Key Manager GUI, click images/settings.png in the details panel of the target host.

You can also set host attributes for one or more hosts using the following host actions:

  • Edit Custom Fields

  • Edit Description (single host only)

  • Edit Host Classification

  • Edit Hostname (single host only)

You can also set host attributes using the command-line client command modify-host (described in modify-host). For example:

$ ssh-mgr-client modify-host -I hostname=server.example.com \
-d custom1="Example value 01",classification=PROD
