Editing a Compute Target

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Scanning, click Targets.
  2. Select the Compartment that contains your target.
  3. Click the Hosts tab if not already selected.
  4. Click the name of the target.
  5. Click Edit.
  6. Change any of these settings for the target.
     • Name
     • Description
     • Scan recipe
     • Target compartment

     Avoid entering confidential information.

  7. Update the Compute instances for this target.
     • All Compute instances in the selected target compartment and its subcompartments
     • Selected Compute instances in the selected target compartment- Select individual Compute instances

     You can't update a target with a compartment or a Compute instance that's already specified in another target. However, multiple targets can scan the same Compute instance.

  8. Click Save changes
  9. (Optional) Click Tags to manage the tags for this target.

     If you have permissions to create a resource, you also have permissions to add free-form tags to that resource.

     To add a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace.

     For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure if you should add tags, skip this option or ask your administrator. You can add tags later.
