What happens if the bearer token used with Dynatrace is invalid?

When a bearer token used with Dynatrace is invalid, the request is rejected by the Kubernetes API. This is due to the security measures in place to ensure that only authorized requests can interact with the API. Bearer tokens are used as a way to authenticate requests; if the token does not meet the necessary criteria or has expired, the Kubernetes API will not process the request further and will return an authorization error.

In this scenario, the API's rejection of the request ensures that no unauthorized access or modifications can occur, thereby safeguarding the integrity and security of the resources being managed through Dynatrace. This strict validation process is a key aspect of maintaining security in cloud environments like Kubernetes.
