Javascript Object Signing and Encryption Secret-store Plugin

The jose plugin allows to manage and store secrets locally protected by the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption algorithm.

To manage your secrets of this secret-store, you should use the secrets command of Telegraf.

Configuration

# File based Javascript Object Signing and Encryption based secret-store
[[secretstores.jose]]
  ## Unique identifier for the secret-store.
  ## This id can later be used in plugins to reference the secrets
  ## in this secret-store via @{<id>:<secret_key>} (mandatory)
  id = "secretstore"

  ## Directory for storing the secrets
  # path = "secrets"

  ## Password to access the secrets.
  ## If no password is specified here, Telegraf will prompt for it at startup time.
  # password = ""

Each secret is stored in an individual file in the subdirectory specified using the path parameter. To access the secrets, a password is required. This password can be specified using the password parameter containing a string, an environment variable or as a reference to a secret in another secret store. If password is not specified in the config, you will be prompted for the password at startup.

Please note: All secrets in this secret store are encrypted using the same password. If you need individual passwords for each jose secret, please use multiple instances of this plugin.
