To access the PowerShell API you will need to obtain an authentication token.

Creating authentication tokens

1. Select Configuration in the top menu of SQL Monitor.
2. Choose Authentication tokens from the PowerShell API section.
3. Enter a name for the token into the box and click on Generate authentication token.
4. A new token will be generated and a message will display the token itself.
5. This is the only time you can access the token, so note it down somewhere safe.

Tokens can be deleted from SQL Monitor in the table of tokens.
