Edit the secrets.yaml File

Configure sensitive Virtual Appliance settings in the secrets.yaml file.

Run the following command to edit the secrets.yaml.encrypted file:

CODE 
helm secrets edit /var/appd/config/secrets.yaml.encrypted
Note: Initially, the secrets.yaml file is at /var/appd/config/secrets.yaml, but after installing the Splunk AppDynamics services, the file is automatically encrypted and moved to /var/appd/config/secrets.yaml.encrypted.
