Data Encryption

Maximo CPI collects metrics data only and does not include any sensitive information. However, if you would like to encrypt the collected data before sharing it, you can use the following process.

Encrypt the data

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 \
  -in /tmp/mcpi.json \
  -out /tmp/mcpi.json.enc

You will be prompted to enter a password.

Decrypt the data

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 \
  -in /tmp/mcpi.json.enc \
  -out /tmp/mcpi.json

Note: The password used for encryption is required to decrypt the file. Please share the password through a separate secure channel.
