How can we control / admin DT_CONNECTION_AUTH_TOKEN?

Hi!

When integrating with lambda we have a

DT_CONNECTION_AUTH_TOKEN

This token I am unable to create or admin as far as I can see. This is not good, how can we manage this token, rotate it etc?

Hello @tarjei_utnes1

For the raised concern, PFA useful resources:

For token:

You should have the required permissions to create authentication token or have cluster admin permissions.

Hi @Peter_Youssef I got a reply back from Dynatrace that we are unable to manage this token as users (we are running SaaS in this instance). This is also not documented anywherer as per the answer from support chat.
