Connection point
Field reference for the connection point editor in the Agent Gateway dashboard, covering the Overview and Metadata tabs.
A connection point is the configuration entry that links this gateway to a remote gateway. It contains the invitation URL and secret shared with the remote gateway operator.
For conceptual background, see Gateways. For step-by-step connection setup, see Connect two gateways.
Overview tab fields
| Setting | Editable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Point Link | No | The out-of-band invitation URL. Share this with the operator of the remote gateway. |
| Connection Secret | No | Shared secret used to authenticate the invitation. Shown only once at creation. |
| Connection Point Name | Yes | Human-readable label for this connection. |
| Description | Yes | Optional description. |
| Last Used | No | When this connection point was last used. Updates every 30 seconds. |
