Create access token to onboard collector to Grafana Fleet Management
If your Alloy collector isn’t shown on the Fleet Management page, you can manually register it.
In this milestone, you generate an access token that registers your collector with Fleet Management. In the next milestone, you add this token as the password in your Alloy configuration file.
To create an access token, complete the following steps:
Go to Collector Setup.
Use the tool on this page to create a new token. Give the token a name and click Create token.
Copy the token and save it in a secure password file. You need the token for the next step, and you can’t view it again after you leave the page.
Once you have a copy of the token, return to Fleet Management.
The generated token comes with the predefined scope set:alloy-data-write, which includes scopes for reading remote configurations in Fleet Management and writing telemetry to Grafana Cloud databases.
In the next milestone, you use the token to register the collector with Fleet Management.
