Disabling Unused Widget Tokens

As a mitigation against risks related to the disclosure of previously generated and unused widget tokens, LogicMonitor has introduced a feature to auto-disable unused tokens after a set days of inactivity. Admin user with Manage Security permission can set the number of inactive days after which the unused token is auto-disabled. For more information on how to disable tokens, see Configuring the Security Settings.

When the unused token is disabled, LogicMonitor sends an email alert to the owner of the widget token about the disabled token and the reason for disabling it. A log of disabled token is maintained on the Audit Logs page. Similarly, details of the disabled tokens are also available in the table for widget token. To access the details, navigate to Settings > User Access > Users and Roles and access the Widget Tokens tab. The details of the disabled token are greyed and cannot be edited.

Admin user with Allow Creation of API Tokens permission can activate the disabled token. To do so, under the Enable column, select the checkbox for the widget token that you want to activate.
