Scenario: "Sapporo": ephemeral tokens

Description: The Sapporo gate API on this host should answer on http://127.0.0.1:9180/ with a body containing OK.

A background service writes short-lived tokens to /var/lib/sapporo/pulse (each value is visible for only a fraction of a second, then the file is cleared again). The gate compares /home/admin/sapporo/active-token against the latest emitted token.

The installed collector at /home/admin/sapporo-collector.sh (triggered by sapporo-collector.timer once per minute) never keeps up; active-token stays empty or stale and the gate keeps failing.

Fix collection so the current token is captured reliably and the gate returns OK.

Root (sudo) Access: True

Test: curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/ returns a response whose body contains OK, and /home/admin/sapporo/active-token holds a token matching the current pulse (format SAPPORO- followed by eight hex digits).

The "Check My Solution" button runs the script /home/admin/agent/check.sh, which you can see and execute.

Time to Solve: 20 minutes.
