What are tokens in Splunk?

Tokens are like programming variables. A token name represents a value that can change, such as a user selection in a form input. You can use tokens to access and pass these values to create more interactive dashboards. Some tokens are predefined in Splunk software to provide environment, contextual, or user click event information.

How do Auth tokens work?

During the life of the token, users then access the website or app that the token has been issued for, rather than having to re-enter credentials each time they go back to the same webpage, app, or any resource protected with that same token. Auth tokens work like a stamped ticket. The user retains access as long as the token remains valid.

What are event tokens/access codes?

Use an event token to take one lab for free, regardless of the cost of the lab. You might be given tokens/access codes, for example, at an event like Google Cloud Next, AWS re-invent, or NVIDIA GTC. These tokens work the same way as they have in the past, as one-time use on any lab.

What are tokens and how do I use them?

You can pass token values from a search handler to other dashboard elements to control behavior or content. Form inputs use tokens to represent the values that users select or type. When you add an input to a form, a token generates automatically for it. You can customize the token name if needed.
