Centreon API tokens inherit the union of access groups

Centreon API tokens inherit the union of access groups Centreon provides monitoring, configuration, and API access through several interfaces. Its authentication-token documentation describes API tokens, CMA tokens, and poller tokens as different credential types. Treating them as one class of secret hides the most important difference: an API token is linked to a Centreon user, while a poller or…

  • Self-verifying deployment process used in cPanel without SSH access
  • Token gate, needle matching, and lint check ensure safe deployment
  • Dry-run mode and cache-buster verify successful patch deployment

Snapping a tap to a real corner: building a LiDAR tape measure for iPhone

When you tap the screen to start a measurement, you are not tapping the corner of the table. You are tapping a pixel, and that pixel sits on a ray that leaves the camera and hits something .

  • Users tap screen to initiate measurement, not table corner.
  • iPhone app uses depth and image data for measurement.
  • RANSAC identifies up to three planes for accurate measurement.

The limit you configured is not the limit it applies

An agent that pays for things needs a limit: a maximum price per call, a payee you expect, sometimes a list of networks and tokens you trust.

  • Limit applies to signed payment, not quote
  • Dishonest seller issues varying quotes and demands
  • Successful SDKs enforce limit on requirement being signed
