   3. Listening Node: the node in the cluster which will listen to the messages received from remote XpoLog instances/agents (appears only if a XpoLog cluster is deployed)

   4. Token: a unique token that is identified with this listener and must be included in the used URL when forwarding data to this account - the token ensures only permitted devices send data and also tags the sent data to the desired XpoLog listener in XpoLog
