Reposting this in the correct area of the forum. I have made a Tech add on that polls an API. In order to perform requests against the API, an API key is required. I have used the following as the example in order to get the URL and the API key for the request saved onto Splunk: https://github.com/splunk/Developer_Guidance_Setup_View_Example The setup page is working as expected from that example, and am able to correctly populate data with it. After that, when I look at the app specific conf files ( ie /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-eg/local/ta_eg_settings.conf) Then I see that the api_key is starred out, ie encrypted at rest: [additional_parameters]
api_key = ********
eg_domain = <correct_plaintext_domain>
disabled = 0 The following files are also present in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-eg/local/: app.conf inputs.conf passwords.conf However if I attempt to use the python helper function get_global_setting("api_key") as defined in: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddonBuilder/3.0.2/UserGuide/PythonHelperFunctions Then it is always returning the string "undefined" as opposed to the correct API key that I added. In TA-eg/bin/TA_eg_rh_settings.py I have also set encrypted = True for the correct field: fields_additional_parameters = [
field.RestField(
'eg_domain',
required=True,
encrypted=False,
default='',
validator=validator.String(
min_len=0,
max_len=8192,
)
),
field.RestField(
'api_key',
required=True,
encrypted=True,
default='',
validator=validator.String(
min_len=0,
max_len=8192,
)
)
] Please help me figure out how to get the correct output of this encrypted at rest API key using the Splunk helper functions.
