Search for hosts in your asset inventory, update basic information for manually added hosts, or remove hosts you no longer need.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
Hosts added to your bastion host instance. See Add hosts
Search for a host
Log on to the Bastionhost console. See Log on to the console of a bastion host.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.
On the Hosts page, enter search conditions to filter the hosts you want to manage.
The host list displays the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Hostname | The name of the host. For hosts imported from your computer or third-party sources, you can change the name directly in Bastionhost. For Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances, change the hostname in the ECS console — Bastionhost automatically maps the new name to the Hostname parameter. See Modify the attributes of an instance. |
| Host IP Address | The O&M IP address used to connect your bastion host to the destination host. The address can be a public IP address or an internal IP address. To change this address, see Change the O&M IP address of a host. |
| Remarks | A description of the host. For hosts imported from your computer or third-party asset sources, you can update the description directly. For ECS instances, update the description in the ECS console — Bastionhost automatically maps the new value to the Remarks parameter. See Modify the attributes of an instance. |
| Host Accounts | The number of host accounts associated with the host. |
| Network Domain | The network domain used to connect your bastion host to the host. |
| Operating System | The host operating system. Valid values: Linux and Windows. |
| Host Source | Where the host was added from. Valid values: ECS, Local, and Third-party Hosts. |
| Bastion Host Status | The status of the ECS instance or third-party host. Valid values: Normal and Released. The status is checked automatically every 4 hours. After you import an asset, the status updates at the next scheduled check. To check the status immediately for multiple ECS instances, click Check ECS Instance Status in the upper-right corner. |
| Network Status | The connectivity between your bastion host and the host's port. Valid values: Normal, Port Exception, Network Timeout, and Proxy Server Exception. The network status is checked automatically based on the cycle configured on the Network Diagnosis tab. To trigger an immediate check for multiple assets, click Check Network Status of Asset in the upper-right corner. For configuration details, see Diagnose network issues. |
| Risk Status | Asset risks detected by Security Center, if integrated. Displays the count and status of alerts, vulnerabilities, and baseline risks. Go to the Security Center console to act on the risks. See Manage servers. |
Modify the basic information of a host
Only hosts that were manually created or imported from a file support direct edits in Bastionhost. For ECS instances, update the information in the ECS console instead. See Modify the attributes of an instance.
Log on to the Bastionhost console. See Log on to the console of a bastion host.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.
On the Hosts page, click the name of the host you want to edit.
In the panel that appears, click the Basic Info tab, update the fields you want to change (such as the IP address or hostname), and then click Update.
Delete a host
Deleting a host revokes all permissions associated with it. Users who had access to the host can no longer log on to it through Bastionhost.
Log on to the Bastionhost console. See Log on to the console of a bastion host.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.
On the Hosts page, delete one or more hosts:
Single host: Find the host and click Delete in the Actions column. Alternatively, select the host and click Delete below the host list.
Multiple hosts: Select the hosts and click Delete below the host list.
In the Are you sure you want to delete the selected hosts? dialog, click Delete.
