- Discover: telling the agent where the interface is or how to call it.
- Access: handing over a key or token.
- Onboard: signing up or registering a client for the agent.
- Sustain: renewing, replacing or revoking its access.
To remove these handoffs: publish a machine-readable descriptor on newrelic.com for New Relic Synthetic Monitoring that leads to a specification covering this job; support OAuth client registration so the agent can register its own client and ask for consent; provide an agent registration route, such as auth.md, a sign-up API or OAuth client registration; provide key management or OAuth refresh and revocation so the agent can maintain its own access.
