HI Team,
It is one the audit highlights not to have password mentioned as plain text in configuration file. Kindly include feature or way to have encryption password in configuration.yaml without need to purchase separate license.

Hi Singh,
there is an existing feature, which lets you provide application-specific password from within the application environment and point the agent configuration to this environment. It is described here in the official Instana documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=cha-configuring-host-agents-by-using-agent-configuration-file#obtaining-configurations-from-process-environment-and-files
This way there do not need to be passwords inside the agent config.
I hope this helps, fells free to comment here if you have additional requests.
Best regards
Henning Treu - Product Manager Instana Agent
