Clear-RedgateMonitorSshHostKey
Published 12 November 2026
Clears the SSH host key that Redgate Monitor trusts for a Linux machine.
Syntax
Clear-RedgateMonitorSshHostKey [-LinuxMachine] <LinuxMachine> [<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Clear-RedgateMonitorSshHostKey cmdlet clears the SSH host key that Redgate Monitor trusts for a Linux machine. It also clears the key that Redgate Monitor last rejected for the machine. On the next connection, Redgate Monitor trusts the key that the machine presents, unless strict SSH host key checking is on. With strict checking, Redgate Monitor rejects the key until you trust a key.
To trust a specific key instead, use Set-RedgateMonitorSshHostKey.
Connect-RedgateMonitor must be called before this cmdlet.
