Obtain a new Key

A key is necessary to send logs over the logging pipeline. For more information about the purpose of a pipeline key, see Log Security.

Warning:

• IONOS adheres to a Share Once policy to generate a key; there is no alternative method to retrieve it if lost. Hence, we recommend that you secure the generated key.

• The previous key is instantly revoked when you generate a new key for a specific pipeline.
