Secrets are key-value pairs that contain sensitive information you want to control
|
|
access to, such as API keys, passwords, or certificates.
|
|
There are two options for storing secrets with InfluxDB:
|
|
|
|
- By default, secrets are Base64-encoded and stored in the InfluxDB embedded key value store,
|
|
[BoltDB](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt).
|
|
- You can also set up a Vault server to store secrets.
|
|
For details, see [Store secrets in Vault](/influxdb/v2/admin/secrets/use-vault).
