Changing Node Status (Enabling / Disabling)

Trustgrid nodes can be in two states:

• Enabled - In this state the node will connected to the Trustgrid Control Plane and any Data Plane gateways the node is configured to use.
• Disabled - This is a reduced functionality state that cause the node to only attempt to connect to the Trustgrid control plane. It can be managed to a limited extent but many other Trustgrid features will not function in this state

Disabling a node allows for additional security if a device is in transport and can also be used as an easily reversible way of verifying a node is no longer in use before fully deleting the node.

Disabling/Enabling from Info Tab

If disabling or enabling a single node you can:

1. Navigate to that node in the Trustgrid portal.
2. Open the Info tab by clicking the dropdown in the top-right, or hitting the ` key.
3. From the Status dropdown change to Disable or Enable

   

Disabling/Enabling from Nodes Table

If disabling or enabling multiple nodes it is easier to do so from the Nodes table

1. Navigate to the nodes table.
2. (Optional) Use the search box to filter the displayed nodes.
   Note that if you change this any selected nodes will be de-selected.
3. Use the checkbox on the left to select the nodes you wish to disable or enable.
4. From the Actions dropdown select either Enable or Disable

   

Disabling/Enabling via Terraform

Nodes can be enabled or disabled via the Trustgrid published Terraform provider using the tg_node_state resource.
