With opCharts 4.4.1 we have are starting to redact private values from the GUI and API and controlling this with a new access policy. This feature required requires MongoDB 4.2 to work.

We currently redact "community " authpassword privpassword authkey privkey wmipassword" in the nodes configuration and may provide the ability for this to be configured in a future release.

In the GUI these values will show as %%%READACTED%%% if you have modified table schema trying to present configuration.community for exapleexample, or using the API the value will not be returned and will not show in the JSON document.

...

If you update the value and save the controller will update the node with your newly inputted data.


Controlling this policy

...

The access policy Access_Redacted_Values controls this feature.

Using the Access policy in opCharts set the value to 0 if you wish for that access level to no not be able to see secret values

Currently the installer allows the administrator to see redacted values and all other users to be unable.

Change MongoDB use 4.2 features

With version of opCharts 4.4.1 we are supporting MongoDB 4.2 which comes with new features to develop against.

We will be using the config option db_use_v42_features : 1 in /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json, to turn these features on, this is a list of features which required 4.2
