Credential Vault Integration for the LM Collector

The Credential Vault integration for the LogicMonitor Collector makes it possible to store and manage sensitive information (including credentials and secrets for hosts, devices, services, etc.) in an external credential vault. 

LogicMonitor Collector supports the following vault integrations:

• CyberArk Vault Integration
• Delinea Vault Integration

Integrating Credential Vault Properties

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Resources > Device> required Collector > Info tab.
   For more information on vault properties, see Adding Vault Properties.
2. Click Settings on the left panel and select Collectors.
3. Select the required Collector and click the Settings icon under the Manage column.
   

4. On the Manage Collector dialog box, select Collector Configuration from the Support drop-down list.
   
5. Ensure to set the vault.bypass value to false in agent.conf. Additionally, you can add the required agent configuration properties to set the Collector. For more information, see  Collector Configurations.
   

Collector Configurations

The following table lists the configuration properties to set in the Collector agent.conf.

Property	Type	Default	Description
vault.bypass	Boolean	TRUE	If the value for the property is true, the vault API calls won’t happen. Note: You must set the property to false, to enable the vault API calls.
vault.credentials.cache.expirationtime	Integer	60	The property specifies the value in minutes for the expiry of the credential in the vault cache on the collector. After this time, the credentials in the vault cache will expire.
vault.credentials.refresh.delay	Integer	15	Controls the Credential Vault integration cache expiration refresh delay in seconds.
vault.url.cache.enabled	Boolean	FALSE	The property specifies whether the URL cache is enabled or not. By default the property is set as false; however, if the property is set to true the collector caches the URL and secret value. If the URL for lmvault property is found in the URL cache, the respective secret value is returned, else the API call is made to fetch the secret from the vault. Setting this property to ‘true’ should resolve API rate-limiting issues.
vault.url.cache.max.size	Integer	1000	The property defines the number of URLs that will be stored in the cache.

Adding Vault Properties

For adding vault properties, such as Vault Metadata and Vault Keys, navigate to Resources > Device > Collector, click Info on the Collector page.

Vault Metadata

The following table lists the Vault Metadata properties.

Property	Description
vault.meta.url	The URL of the vault.
vault.meta.type	The type of vault.
vault.meta.header	The headers are required for HTTP Get Request. The value for this custom property would be the header separated with & and the header key value separated with = as shown in the below example: vault.meta.header – Content-Type=application/json&Accept-Encoding=gzip, deflate, br

Vault Keys

Vault keys need to be specified at the device level with suffix .lmvault. 

Property	Description
.lmvault	The custom property for which value should be retrieved from the Vault must be specified at the device level by adding suffix .lmvault. The value of such property would be the path of the key in the Vault. For example: ssh.user.lmvault = ssh\ssh.user
