Telegraf Controller is in Public Beta
Telegraf Controller is in public beta and will be part of the future Telegraf Enterprise offering. While in beta, Telegraf Controller is not meant for production use. The Telegraf Controller documentation is a work in progress, and we are actively working to improve it. If you have any questions or suggestions, please submit an issue. We welcome any and all contributions.
Owners and administrators can configure login security and password requirements for Telegraf Controller.
Navigate to the Settings page from the left navigation menu to view and modify these settings.
Login security
Login attempts
You can configure the number of failed login attempts allowed before an account is locked out. The default threshold is 5 attempts, with a minimum of 1.
To change the login attempt threshold:
- Navigate to the Settings page.
- Update the Login attempts value.
- Click Save.
Login lockout
When a user exceeds the failed attempt threshold, their account is locked for a configurable duration. The default lockout duration is 15 minutes, with a minimum of 1 minute. The lockout clears automatically after the configured duration has elapsed.
To change the lockout duration:
- Navigate to the Settings page.
- Update the Login lockout duration value.
- Click Save.
If a user is locked out, an owner or administrator can reset their password to unlock the account.
Password complexity requirements
Telegraf Controller provides three password complexity levels that apply to all password operations, including initial setup, password changes, password resets, and invite completion.
| Level | Min length | Uppercase* | Lowercase* | Digits* | Special characters* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 8 | No | No | No | No |
| Medium | 10 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| High | 12 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
* Passwords require at least one of the defined character types.
To change the password complexity level:
- Navigate to the Settings page.
- Select the desired Password complexity level.
- Click Save.
Changing the password complexity level does not affect existing passwords. The new requirements apply only when users set or change their passwords.
Environment variables
You can set initial defaults for login security settings using environment variables. These values are applied when Telegraf Controller initializes its settings for the first time. Changes made on the Settings page override initialized settings.
| Environment variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_ATTEMPTS | Failed attempts before lockout | 5 |
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES | Minutes to lock account | 15 |
PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY | Complexity level (low, medium, high) | low |
For detailed descriptions and bootstrap behavior, see the Authentication and security section in the configuration options reference.
