Delete a token

Deleting a token immediately removes the token so it cannot be used for authentication. Unlike revocation, deletion removes all data associated with the token and token history.

Delete versus revoke

Telegraf Controller supports two ways to remove a token from active use: deletion and revocation.

• Deleted tokens are permanently removed from the system. No record of the token is retained after deletion.
• Revoked tokens remain visible in the token list with a Revoked status. This provides an audit trail showing when the token was created and when it was disabled. Revoked tokens cannot be used for authentication.

Use revoke when you want to disable a token but maintain an audit trail. Use delete when you want to completely remove the token and its record from the system.

For more information about revoking a token, see Revoke a token.

Delete a token

1. Navigate to the API Tokens page or open the token’s detail view.
2. Click Delete to initiate the deletion. If on the token detail page, select the Manage tab to reveal the Delete action.
3. In the confirmation dialog, confirm that you want to permanently delete the token.

Once confirmed, the token is immediately deleted. Any agent or integration that relies on the deleted token will no longer be able to authenticate with Telegraf Controller.

Bulk delete tokens

You can delete multiple tokens at once from the API Tokens page.

1. On the API Tokens page, select the checkboxes next to each token you want to delete.
2. Click the Delete option in the bulk actions bar.
3. In the confirmation dialog, review the number of tokens to be deleted and confirm.

All selected tokens are permanently removed and immediately invalidated. Verify that no active agents depend on the selected tokens before confirming the bulk deletion.
