Secret Manager

Secret tokens play a crucial role in securing access to an observability product. Secret tokens are user sensitive data that is stored in an encrypted format. A secret manager stores and manages sensitive information known as secrets. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and controlled access of secrets. You can use the secret manager in token manager as a variable using "$".

Configuring a token used in OAUTH2 generates an access token and refresh token to access the particular endpoint and get response from it.
