# Managing servers

## Edit server details

* **Note**\
  If Transfer Family created a CloudWatch logging IAM role for you when you created a server, the IAM role is called `AWSTransferLoggingAccess`. You can use it for all your servers.
* **Important**\
  If you aren't planning to migrate existing users from an existing SFTP-enabled server to a new SFTP-enabled server, ignore this section. Accidentally changing a server's host key can be disruptive.
* **Note**\
  Although the Transfer Family console allows you to specify and add server host keys for all servers, these keys are only useful for servers that use the SFTP protocol.
* **Note**\
  Transfer Family uses the first added key for each algorithm as the active host key. You can associate up to 10 host keys per SFTP server, but only one key per algorithm is active at any specific time.
* **Note**\
  When you stop a server to take it offline, currently you are still accruing service charges for that server. To eliminate additional server-based charges, delete that server.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://awsnotes.dendron.so/migration-and-transfer/aws-transfer-family/topics/managing-servers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
