Encrypting vales in Splunk conf file

[brent_weaver]

I am writing a modular input in splunk and need to store API key and secret in a .conf file. I see how I can Rea the .conf file but how to I make splunk encrypt (and subsequently decrypt) these vales in my conf file. I cannot have them clear text I need them hashed.

Any help is welcome 🙂
