Instana

There is not.

This data is static.  Just like the backend server's URL, the download key is the unique identifier that you also need for agent-backend communication.

Once you have it it doesn't not change.

What is your use case where you wouldn't know your own key?

It would be nice if you could check already deployed agents keys if you change the backend keys after a POC and verifiy who agents need to be updated.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about automating Instana Agent deployments on OpenShift.

When the Instana Agent is deployed using a YAML file, we can currently access the generated secret/download keys through the UI:

Home → Agent Deployment → OpenShift → YAML

Is there a supported REST API that we can use to retrieve these download keys or the corresponding secret programmatically?

The goal is to automate the deployment process through a CI/CD pipeline rather than manually retrieving the values from the UI.

If anyone has implemented this or knows which API endpoint/documentation covers it, I’d appreciate any guidance.

Thanks!
