Accessing Hashicorp Vault Secrets with Vault Functions (deprecated)

Data Collector can use Hashicorp Vault functions to access information, called secrets, stored in Hashicorp Vault.

Important: Vault functions are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend using the credential functions available with the Vault credential store integration.

You can use Vault secrets in place of username and password properties, similar properties such as AWS access key IDs and secret access keys, and in HTTP headers and bodies when using HTTPS.

To access Vault secrets using the Vault functions, configure properties for Data Collector to access Vault. Then, use Vault functions in the pipeline to access Vault at run time.

To access information stored in Hashicorp Vault, perform the following steps:
  1. Configure the Hashicorp Vault connection properties.
  2. In the pipeline, use Vault functions to access Hashicorp Vault secrets.
Note: This documentation includes details about Hashicorp Vault to simplify the installation and configuration process. For more information, see the Vault documentation.
