Creating an Authentication Token for WinCollect Agents

Third-party or external applications that interact with JSA require an authentication token. Before you install managed WinCollect agents in your network, you must create an authentication token.

This authentication token is required for every WinCollect agent you install.

The authentication token allows managed WinCollect agents to exchange data with JSA appliances. Create one authentication token to use for all of your WinCollect agents that communicate events with JSA host. If the authentication token expires, the WinCollect agent cannot receive log source configuration changes or code updates.
