Linode is an inventory-only connection today — there are no Linode checks in the CSPM catalog, so it doesn’t run posture scans the way AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Kubernetes, M365, GitHub, Cloudflare, MongoDB Atlas, OpenStack, Vercel, and NHN do. Connecting it lets TigerGate track the account for cross-product inventory views; it does not produce CSPM findings.

​
Before you start

In TigerGate, go to Integrations → Cloud Providers and choose Linode. You’ll fill in:
FieldWhat it is
Connection NameA label for this account (e.g. My Linode Account).
API TokenA Linode personal access token — read-only scope is sufficient.

​
1. Create the token

1

Open API Tokens

Go to Cloud Manager → Profile → API Tokens → Create a Personal Access Token.
2

Scope it to read-only

Name it tigergate-inventory, set an expiration per your rotation policy, and set every permission’s access level to Read Only (not Read/Write).
3

Copy the token

Linode shows the token once — copy it.

​
2. Connect it in TigerGate

1

Paste the token

In Integrations → Cloud Providers → Linode, paste the token into API Token.
2

Test

Click Test. TigerGate calls the Linode API (GET /v4/profile) to confirm the token is active; if it isn’t, the connection is marked error with the reason so you can fix it before relying on it.
