Secrets telemetry

Secrets telemetry provides information about configured secrets engine operations.

Default metrics​

vault.secret.kv.count​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberNumber of entries in each key-value secrets engines

OpenBao organizes the key-value pair count by cluster, namespace, and mount point.

vault.secret.lease.creation​

Metric typeValueDescription
counternumberNumber of leases created by secrets engines

OpenBao organizes the lease count by cluster, namespace, secret engine, mount point, and time to live (TTL).

PKI metrics​

secrets.pki.tidy.cert_store_current_entry​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberIndex of the certificate store entry currently being verified by the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.cert_store_deleted_count​

Metric typeValueDescription
counternumberNumber of entries deleted from the certificate store

secrets.pki.tidy.cert_store_total_entries_remaining​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberNumber of entries in the certificate store checked, but not removed, during the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.cert_store_total_entries​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberNumber of entries in the certificate store to verify during the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.duration​

Metric typeValueDescription
summarymsTime required to complete the PKI tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.failure​

Metric typeValueDescription
counternumberNumber of times the PKI tidy operation failed to finish due to errors

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_current_entry​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberIndex of the revoked certificate store entry currently being verified by the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_deleted_count​

Metric typeValueDescription
counternumberNumber of entries deleted from the certificate store for revoked certificates

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_total_entries_fixed_issuers​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberNumber of entries in the certificate store found to have incorrect issuer information that were fixed during the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_total_entries_incorrect_issuers​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberTotal number of entries in the certificate store found to have incorrect issuer information

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_total_entries_remaining​

Metric typeValueDescription
gaugenumberNumber of revoked certificates in the certificate store checked, but not removed, during the tidy operation

secrets.pki.tidy.revoked_cert_total_entries​

Metric typeValueDescription

secrets.pki.tidy.start_time_epoch​

Metric typeValueDescription

The start time metric reports a value of 0 if the PKI tidy operation is not currently active.

secrets.pki.tidy.success​

Metric typeValueDescription
counternumberNumber of times the PKI tidy operation completed successfully
