When trying to configure the Splunk Add-on for CrowdStrike and add the appropriate user info and API key, I am getting the following error:

REST ERROR[1021]: Fail to decrypt the encrypted credential information - Failed to get credentials

Anyone know how to resolve this?

I was getting exactly the same error message. I had to manually edit the config file:

Hope that helps.

Did you have your API credentials enabled via CrowdStrike support?
