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 to true in sgc-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.

Warning 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.
