Create an integration token

Integration tokens are for scripts and services that need to update a Manual Table or read fleet health. Only the Owner can create and revoke them from Settings > Integration tokens.

  1. Select Create a token and enter a Name that identifies the system using it.
  2. Choose one or both Capabilities:
    • Write Manual Table rows can replace rows in Manual Table Data Sources.
    • Read fleet health can read the bounded JSON summary or Prometheus metrics.
  3. For a write token, choose Limit to Data Sources. Selecting none permits writes to any Manual Table; selecting sources restricts the token to those sources.
  4. Set Expires on if the token is temporary. The selected day is its last day of use. Leave it empty only when the integration needs a token without an expiry.
  5. Select Create token, then copy the secret into the system’s secret store.

Tilecast shows the complete token once. It cannot be read back later. A token uses this header format:

Authorization: Bearer tci_<public-id>.<secret>

See replace Manual Table rows and read fleet health for requests using each capability.

In Settings > Integration tokens, select Revoke next to the token. Revocation takes effect immediately and cannot be undone; create a new token and update the integration when you need to replace one. Removing the account that created a token also disables that token.

Tilecast records token actions under the creating account. Give each integration its own token so you can identify and revoke one system without affecting another.
