About SGC secrets
The SGC supports storing sensitive information, such as SNMPv3 passphrases, in an encrypted format.
To enable this you must:
-
Set
encrypt-secrets
totrue
insgc-config.yaml
-
Optionally generate an RSA-2048 bit private key:
openssl genrsa -out sgc-key.pem 2048
If you do not generate one,initconf
will generate one for you.

If you are changing the SGC secrets settings on a previously configured VM it is necessary to follow the procedure documented in Reconfiguring the SGC. |
