telegraf secrets get

The telegraf secrets get command retrieves the value of a secret from the specified secret store.

This command requires your configuration file that contains the secret store definitions you want to access. If the --config or --config-directory flags are not included in the command, Telegraf checks the default configuration file location.

Use telegraf secrets list to get the IDs of available secret stores and the available secret keys.

If you haven’t configured a secret store, use telegraf plugins secretstores to list available secret store plugins. View secret store plugin configuration documentation in the Telegraf GitHub repository.

Usage

telegraf [global-flags] secrets get [flags] <SECRET_STORE_ID> <SECRET_KEY>

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
SECRET_STORE_IDID of the secret store to retrieve the secret from
SECRET_KEYKey of the secret to retrieve

Flags

FlagDescription
-h--helpShow command help

Examples

In the examples below, replace the following:

  • SECRET_STORE_ID: The ID of the secret store to retrieve the secret from.
  • SECRET_KEY: The key of the secret to retrieve from the secret store.
  • CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH: The non-default filepath to your Telegraf configuration file containing your secret store definitions.

Retrieve a secret using the default configuration location

The following example assumes the Telegraf configuration file that contains the secret store definition is at the default location.

telegraf secrets get 
SECRET_STORE_ID
SECRET_KEY

Retrieve a secret using a non-default configuration location

telegraf --config 
CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH
secrets get
SECRET_STORE_ID
SECRET_KEY
