The Secrets page reports status for real-time and historical data on the performance of Kubernetes® Secret. A Secret is an API object that is similar to a ConfigMap but is specifically used to include the confidential data. The pods can consume a Secret as environment variables, command-line arguments, or as configuration files in a volume. A Secret allows you to separate environment-specific configuration from the container images to make your applications easily portable.
Splunk AppDynamics monitors the health status, attributes, and relationships of each Secret. Splunk AppDynamics provides unique feature of Secret changelog widget through which you can track any changes happened in Secret.
Ensure that you connect the Cisco AppDynamics Kubernetes Collectors to Splunk AppDynamics. See Install Kubernetes and App Service Monitoring.
You can use Secrets to:
- Monitor the health status of each Secret.
- Monitor the changes that happened in Secret using the Secret changelog widget.
- Monitor important information such as Secret type, Secret creation timestamp, immutable, and so on.
