Rotating credentials
Update a source's password, key, or token without reconnecting from scratch.
When a password, key file, or API token changes, rotate the source's credentials in place. Queringo updates the stored secret and re-tests the connection, so you keep the same source, schema, and history.
Steps
- Open the source menu
On the Data sources page, open the menu on the source you want to update and choose Rotate credentials.
- Enter the new secret
Provide the new password, key file, or token. Other connection details stay as they are.
- Test and save
Queringo re-tests the connection with the new secret before saving. On success, the source keeps working with no other changes.
Rotate on a schedule that matches your security policy. Because rotation keeps the same source, your dashboards, alerts, and saved questions keep working.
When to rotate
- A teammate with access to the secret leaves.
- Your provider expires or recommends rotating tokens.
- You suspect a credential was exposed.
