Set up a new private location
27+
=====================================
28+
29+
Follow these steps to set up a new private location:
30+
31+
1. In Splunk Synthetic Monitoring, select the settings gear icon, then :guilabel:`Private locations`.
32+
2. Select :guilabel:`+ Add` and add a name.
33+
3. Follow the steps in the guided setup to set up one or more private runners for that private location.

What you can do with your private location ID
38+
------------------------------------------------------------
39+
40+
Each private location has a corresponding private location ID. With this ID, you can:
41+
42+
* Build charts or dashboards
43+
* Search for metrics by private location
44+
* Refer to your private location ID if you're interacting with the Splunk Synthetics Monitoring APIs.
45+
46+
Manage your tokens
47+
--------------------------------
48+
It is your responsibility to update and manage your tokens. Tokens are valid for one year. For added security, create a secret environment variable for your token in Docker. Consider creating a second token to provide coverage before your first token expires. You are not notified of expiring tokens.
