DigitalOcean is an inventory-only connection — there is no DigitalOcean check catalog, so it doesn’t run CSPM posture scans. Connecting it records the account for cross-product inventory views; it produces no CSPM findings. (Alibaba Cloud, Linode, and Google Workspace are inventory-only the same way.)

​
Before you start

In TigerGate, go to Integrations → Cloud Providers, choose DigitalOcean, and provide:
FieldWhat it is
Connection NameA label for this account.
API TokenA DigitalOcean personal access token with read scope.
Region (optional)Informational label — it doesn’t restrict anything.

​
1. Create the token

1

Open API settings

Go to DigitalOcean Control Panel → API → Tokens → Generate New Token.
2

Scope it to read-only

Name it tigergate-inventory, set an expiration per your rotation policy, and select Read (not Write) scope.
3

Copy the token

DigitalOcean shows the token once — copy it.

​
2. Connect it in TigerGate

1

Paste the token

Under Integrations → Cloud Providers → DigitalOcean, paste the token into API Token and give the connection a name.
2

Test

Click Test. TigerGate calls the DigitalOcean account API (GET /v2/account) with the token; it reports success or the HTTP error the API returned, so you can fix a bad token before saving.
