System API Tokens

System API Tokens provide cluster-level management access to Self-Hosted LogScale instances, offering permissions for cluster management, health checks, configuration storage, and system-level controls without granting access to organization or repository data. LogScale system permissions and role-based tokens control access to cluster resources and determine which cluster operations users can perform.

System tokens provide access to managie a self-hosted LogScale instance at the cluster level. They do not provide access to an organization or to the data stored in any repository. Because they provide such a high-level of access, the available permissions are limited and are designed to support top-level management and access to the cluster. Access to the repository or the organization are separately managed through the Repository and View API Tokens and Organization API Tokens respectively.

System-level permissions include:

  • Cluster management, including node management, cluster health checks and configuration bucket storage credentials

  • System permissions, user names, and system repositories

Repository tokens are managed from the Repository Settings page:
