In order to connect to the Wavefront REST API the connector needs an API token for a Service Account. As a Wavefront administrator it is possible to generate API tokens when creating a service account. It is also possible to create API tokens for an existing service account at a later stage.
To create an API Token for an existing service account execute the following steps:
1.Click on the gear icon at the top right of the taskbar and select Account Management.
2.On the Service Accounts tab, click the ellipsis icon next to the service account for which to generate an API token. Select Edit.
3.Click Generate in the Tokens section to generate a new token. It is possible to create up to 20 tokens per service account. If there are already 20 tokens for a service account, it is necessary to revoke one of the existing tokens before creating a new one.
4.Click on the Revoke button next to the token in order to revoke a token.

5.Select the appropriate permissions for the service account and click Update.
