Settings

Manage your project token, session configuration, and administrative operations from the Settings tab.

Settings Tab

Click to expand

Project Token

Your project token (bh_...) authenticates your application with the ByteHide platform. Copy it and set it as an environment variable:

export BYTEHIDE_TOKEN="bh_your_token_here"

export BYTEHIDE_TOKEN="bh_your_token_here"

The token is displayed partially masked in the dashboard. Click the copy button to copy the full token to your clipboard.

Session Duration

Configure how long a session remains active before expiring due to inactivity. The default is 60 seconds.

Sessions group related requests and incidents from the same device or client. A longer session duration means more events are grouped together, making it easier to trace attack patterns across multiple requests.

Enter the desired duration in seconds and click Save.

Reset Token

Generates a new project token and immediately invalidates the previous one. Use this if your token has been compromised or leaked.

After resetting:

1. Copy the new token from the Settings tab
2. Update the environment variable or configuration file in all deployments
3. Restart or redeploy your applications
4. Verify that devices reappear in the Overview tab

Danger Zone

Unlink Project

Permanently removes the Monitor integration from this project and deletes all associated data:

• All devices and device history
• All sessions
• All incidents and forensic data
• All Workflow rules and firewall configurations
• The project token (invalidated)
