Get metadata for everything(mountpoints/secrets) without specifying every single mount point and secret path. #120

Hi @eugene-davis,

Is there any way to get metadata for everything(mountpoints/secrets) without specifying every single mount point and secret path? We have a vault service with multiple mountpoints and secret paths. It is a big overhead to maintain every new mountpoint and config which is created by users and mirror it to the vault-assessment-prometheus-exporter config.yaml.

Hi @marioasabella, you can definitely monitoring recursively within a mount point - see Config examples and Secret Configuration

Regarding monitoring all the mount paths, aside from the extra logic required (filtering down to secret engine), I'm not sure its a good general use case to support, as it requires giving VAPE rather broad access to mount points. If it makes sense for your use case to have that level of access, maybe cronjob that spits out a config.yaml with the latest mount points would make more sense?
