Key Rotation System

In distributed systems with multiple servers (masters and slaves), the panel supports:

  • Dynamic API keys — automatic rotation with zero downtime

  • Cascading key rotation — changes automatically propagate to all connected servers

  • Unlimited hierarchy levels — masters and slaves with arbitrary nesting depth

  • Graceful rotation — old key remains active until new key is confirmed

  • Fault tolerance — exponential backoff retries

Multi-Net (Server Management)

  • Single panel – access to all servers in the network
  • Instant control – switching from one server to another
  • Any server – can be both a master and a slave simultaneously
  • Unlimited nesting: manage through 2, 5, 10 levels
  • Selective access: each server chooses its own masters
