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.
