Generate PDC signing token

In this step, you create a PDC signing token. The PDC agent uses the signing token to authenticate with your Grafana Cloud instance.

The system provides you with a default token name. You can choose to use that token, create one, or use an existing token.

In the Use a PDC signing token section of Grafana Cloud, perform one of the following:

Create a new token:

1. Click Create a new token.
2. Enter a value in the Token name field. Make sure the token value is meaningful to you and something you’ll remember (for example, pdc-agent-prodUS).
3. Click Create token.

Use an existing token:

1. Click Use an existing token.
2. Enter a token you have created in the past. The token name must begin with glc_.

If you are installing PDC agent on Kubernetes or Docker, you don’t need to install the binaries. Skip to the Deploy PDC agent milestone.
