Token Generation

Datafy uses a security token to identify communication from the agents installed on your machines, and to associate it with your account. The token is secret, and cannot be accessed again after it is generated.

The token is used for the Datafy agent installation. If you'd rather not issue and manage a long-lived token, see Tokenless Installation.

Creating a New Token

Tokens are associated with a specific Datafy app account, which is associated with a single AWS account. Generate a new token from the relevant Datafy app account for every AWS account Datafy is installed on.

1. Open the account menu at the top right corner of the Datafy app

2. Open the Admin Portal

3. Navigate to the API Tokens section in the sidebar

4. Select Generate Token

5. Configure the token:

   • Give it a meaningful description, like <your-company>-datafy-token.

   • Set the role to Admin

   • Set expiration date to never

6. Save the generated token in a secure manner, and use it when installing the Datafy agent

Make sure to save tokens in a secure manner, so they are accessible for future installations in the same account
