Description:
When we tried to configure remote management with ssh login based management we were guessing what file is needed in the field SSH Key Path. We finally figured out, that this is NOT the path nor the public key file but the private key file.

that could/should be explicitly mentioned in the field comment so we do not have to guess and figure out.

How to repeat:
n.a.

Suggested fix:
field could have the label "Private Key file" or similar

Hello Oli,

Thank you for the report.
I agree with you that it is confusing at first unless someone moves mouse cursor over the input text to display 'Path to the SSH private key to use for connecting to the remote SSH server..' there is no way to know whether private key or public key path is required.
