How can I encrypt macro values ​​and store them in DB?

[yswKim]

Hi!

If password is set in the macro, it is saved as plain text in the database.
I want to encrypt macro values stored in the database.
Anyone can help?

Does someone have an answer for that?

Recent versions of Zabbix support improved security for macros, including using an external secret-store (vault): https://blog.zabbix.com/securing-zab...#Secret_macros

Although the macro value is hidden in more places in the interface, if you're not using an external vault, I believe the macro values are still stored in clear text in the database. I'm not using 6.0.x yet, so I can't verify.

Even in v6, macro value is stored as plain text in DB. Even if you set it as "secret macro" and you cannot see it in UI. So external store is pretty much your only option....
