Table 1. Action description on Host Inventory page
Action Description
Modify Only users with RW permission can edit the selected host details.
Delete Only users with RW permission can delete the active hosts from the host inventory.
Credentials You can view the credentials of the host keys that are discovered on the device. You can also add, modify, or delete the credentials. See Adding Credentials.

You cannot delete the default or active credentials.

Rotate Host Certificate
Important:
  • Only users with RW permission can perform this action.
  • This action is enabled only for devices/hosts with host status as Managed with sudo access.
  • If the global known host is not present, then AppViewX will create one with the right CA definition. Rotate the host key along with the host certificate from the host inventory to update the public host key in the known hosts.
A confirmation pop-up window appears warning about the implications of the rotation process. On confirmation, the existing host certificate is deleted and a new one is created in its place for the selected host in the global known host file.
