Add Teleport

If your telemetry source runs behind a firewall or inside a VPC and is not publicly accessible, you can use Teleport to securely expose your telemetry application to Hawkeye.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have completed the following:

  1. Install the Teleport agent

    • The Teleport agent must be installed within the private network where your telemetry application is running.
    • This agent enables secure communication between your application and the Teleport server.

  2. Create a Teleport bot

    • Create a Teleport bot and assign it a role that grants access only to the specific telemetry applications or connections you intend to integrate with Hawkeye.

  3. Generate a bot join token

    • Create and save a bot join token for the Teleport bot. You will need this token when configuring the connection in Hawkeye.
