Last Updated:Apr 28, 2024

This topic describes how to search for a host, modify the basic information about a host, and delete a host from the host list.

Prerequisites

The hosts on which you want to perform O&M operations are added to your bastion host. For more information, see Add hosts.

Search for a host

  1. Log on to the console of a bastion host. For more information, see Log on to the console of a bastion host.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.

  3. On the Hosts page, configure search conditions to search for the hosts that you want to manage.

    Column

    Description

    Hostname

    The name of the host.

    Note
    • You can change the hostnames of the hosts that are imported from your computer or third-party sources.

    • To change the hostname of an Elastic Compute Service instance, log on to the ECS console. Then, Bastionhost automatically maps the new name to the value of the Hostname parameter. For more information, see Modify the attributes of an instance.

    Host IP Address

    The O&M IP address that is used to connect the bastion host to the destination host. The IP address can be a public IP address or an internal IP address.

    Note

    For more information about how to change an O&M IP address, see Change the O&M IP address of a host.

    Remarks

    The description of the host.

    Note
    • You can change the descriptions of the hosts that are imported from your computer or third-party asset sources.

    • To change the description of an Elastic Compute Service instance, log on to the ECS console. Then, Bastionhost automatically maps the new description to the value of the Remarks parameter. For more information, see Modify the attributes of an instance.

    Host Accounts

    The number of host accounts of the host.

    Network Domain

    The network domain that is used to connect the bastion host to the host.

    Operating System

    The operating system of the host. Valid values: Linux and Windows.

    Host Source

    The source of the host. Valid values: ECS, Local, and Third-party Hosts.

    Bastion Host Status

    The status of the ECS instance or the third-party host. Valid values: Normal and Released.

    The asset status is automatically checked every 4 hours. After you import an asset, the system updates the asset status at the next automatic check. You can click Check ECS Instance Status in the upper-right corner of the host list to check the status of multiple ECS instances at a time.

    Network Status

    The connectivity between the bastion host and the port of the host. Valid values: Normal, Port Exception, Network Timeout, and Proxy Server Exception.

    The network status of assets is automatically checked based on the asset connectivity check cycle that is configured on the Network Diagnosis tab. The system updates the network status of assets at the next automatic check. You can click Check Network Status of Asset in the upper-right corner of the host list to check the network status of multiple assets at a time.

    Note

    For more information about how to configure periodic check of asset connectivity, see Diagnose network issues.

    Risk Status

    If your assets are added to Security Center, you can view the asset risks detected by Security Center. The risk data includes the status and numbers of the alerts, vulnerabilities, and baseline risks detected on assets. You can go to the Security Center console to handle the risks in time. For more information, see Manage servers.

Modify the basic information about a host

You can modify the basic information about hosts that are manually created or imported by using a file. You cannot modify the basic information about imported ECS instances. For more information about how to modify the basic information about an ECS instance, see Modify the attributes of an instance.

  1. Log on to the console of a bastion host. For more information, see Log on to the console of a bastion host.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.

  3. On the Hosts page, find the host whose basic information you want to modify and click the name of the host.

  4. In the panel that appears, click the Basic Info tab, modify the basic information about the host, such as the IP address and hostname, and then click Update.

Delete a host

If you no longer need to use a host, you can delete the host from the host list.

Warning

After you delete the host, all permissions on the host are revoked. For example, a user is granted permissions to manage a host. When the host is deleted, the permissions are revoked. You can no longer log on to the host by using the bastion host.

  1. Log on to the console of a bastion host. For more information, see Log on to the console of a bastion host.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Assets > Hosts.

  3. On the Hosts page, you can delete a host or multiple hosts.

    • Delete a host: Find the host that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column. You can also select the host and click Delete below the host list.
