This step is recommended to avoid having to register the agent again if the dyno restarts.

  1. Save the token in the URL x-agt-6ce6...
  2. Add a environment variable to the agent app
  • Go to Settings > Config Vars
  • Add a variable with the key TOKEN
  • Add the token (x-agt...) to the input value

Config Vars Reference

info

If you need to redeploy the agent in another app, click in the deploy button again and pass the agent token in the input field TOKEN

Interacting with the Connection​
