Could someone please document how the Splunk passwords are encrypted (in inputs and outputs.conf) so that we can setup our configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet etc...) to properly encrypt the passwords in the conf files without provisioning clear password and restarting Splunk a each chef run?
Just a shell, perl, python or other example using the etc/auth/splunk.secret would help a LOT
we figured out how dbconnect does (even had to fix a bug when passwords contains a "=") - can't find any details on the $1$xxxxxxxxxx passwords used in inputs.conf and outputs.conf
Thanks!!
