Set up

Add Hex to Crush in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Crush then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Hex in Runlayer

    Add Hex from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Crush to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Crush by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Crush reaches Hex’s 18 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Hex

    Sign in the way Hex requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Hex from Crush

    Hex’s approved tools appear in Crush. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Crush

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Crush exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Hex call from Crush passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Crush as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Crush yet, so control happens at the gateway.
