Device/Licence Key

Device/Licence Key

Device Key is a unique and secure alphanumeric key that can be accessed by logging in and navigating to Admin > Developer > Device Key. 

It is an authentication mechanism where the Site24x7 agent pushes the performance metrics to site24x7.com to interact and store data into Site24x7 server. This is then presented as performance graphs and reports. The Site24x7 agents that use the device key are:
  • Windows server agent
  • Linux server agent
  • FreeBSD server agent
  • On-Premise Poller
  • Mobile Network Poller
  • Java Agent for APM Insight
  • .NET Agent for APM Insight
  • Ruby Agent for APM Insight
  • Site24x7 DeskApp
  • Azure VM Extension
  • Zapier Integration
It is strongly recommended to not share your device key with others since this might cause a security breach. In case of an account with multiple sub-users, the super admin and the admin roles alone would be able to access the device key. Since the device key is unique, no two Site24x7 accounts can have the same device key.
