# `/sys/sync`

The `/sys/sync` endpoints are used to configure destinations and associate secrets to sync with these destinations.

Each destination type has its own endpoint for creation & update operations, but share the same endpoints for read &
delete operations.

## Configuration

The `sys/sync/config` endpoint is used to set configuration parameters for the sync system as a whole.

@include 'alerts/restricted-admin.mdx'

| Method  | Path              |
|:--------|:------------------|
| `PATCH` | `sys/sync/config` |

### Parameters

- `disabled` `(bool: false)` - Disables sync operations from sending secrets in Vault to external destinations when
set to true. While disabled, actions performed in Vault which trigger a sync operation will instead get queued to be
processed once syncing is reactivated. Queued operations will have a status of `PENDING` until they are completed.
This is provided as a safety mechanism for emergencies.

- `queue_capacity` `(int: 1,000,000)` - Maximum number of pending sync operations allowed on the internal queue.

### Sample payload
```json
{
    "disabled": "true",
    "queue_capacity": 1000000
}
```

### Sample request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request PATCH \

        "queue_capacity": 1000000
    },
    "warnings": null,
    "mount_type": "system"
}
```

## List destinations

This endpoint lists all configured sync destination names regrouped by destination type.

## Create/Update AWS Secrets Manager destination

This endpoint creates a destination to synchronize secrets with the AWS Secrets manager.

| Method | Path                                  |
|:-------|:--------------------------------------|
| `POST` | `/sys/sync/destinations/aws-sm/:name` |

### Parameters

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name for this destination. This is specified as part of the URL.

- `access_key_id` `(string: "")` - Access key id to authenticate against the AWS secrets manager. If omitted, authentication
fallbacks on the AWS credentials provider chain and tries to infer authentication from the environment.

- `secret_access_key` `(string: "")` - Secret access key to authenticate against the AWS secrets manager. If omitted,
authentication fallbacks on the AWS credentials provider chain and tries to infer authentication from the environment.

- `role_arn` `(string: "")` - Specifies a role to assume when connecting to AWS. When assuming a role, Vault uses temporary
STS credentials to authenticate. An initial session with the proper trust relationship must exist for Vault to be able to
assume this role. The role can be in a different account.

- `external_id` `(string: "")` - Optional extra protection that must match the trust policy granting access to the AWS IAM
role ARN. We recommend using a different random UUID per destination.

- `region` `(string: "")` - Region where to manage the secrets manager entries. If omitted, configuration fallbacks on
the AWS credentials provider chain and tries to infer region from the environment.

- `secret_name_template` `(string: "")` - Template to use when generating the secret names on the external system.
The default template yields names like `vault/kv_1234/my-secret`. See [this documentation](/vault/docs/sync#name-template) for more details.

- `custom_tags` `(map<string|string>: nil)` - List of custom tags or labels to set on the synced secrets at the destination.
Custom tags are merged with internal built-in tags.

- `granularity` `(string: "secret-path")` - Determines what level of information is synced as a distinct resource at the
destination. See [this documentation](/vault/docs/sync#granularity) for more details.

### Sample payload

  In the event a synchronization operation does not succeed, the sync status will indicate the cause
  of the error and is a useful tool when troubleshooting.

</Note>

| Method | Path                                              |
|:-------|:--------------------------------------------------|
| `GET`  | `/sys/sync/destinations/:type/:name/associations` |

### Parameters

- `type` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the destination type. This is specified as part of the URL.

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name for this destination. This is specified as part of the URL.

### Sample request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request GET \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/destinations/aws-sm/my-store-1/associations
```

### Sample response

```json
{
    "request_id": "uuid",
    "lease_id": "",
    "renewable": false,
    "lease_duration": 0,
    "data": {
        "associated_secrets": {
            "kv_eb4acbae/my-secret-1": {
                "accessor": "kv_eb4acbae",
                "secret_name": "my-secret-1",
                "sync_status": "SYNCED",
                "updated_at": "2023-09-20T10:51:53.961861096-04:00"
            }
        },

        "store_type": "aws-sm"
    },
    "wrap_info": null,
    "warnings": null,
    "auth": null
}
```

## Set association

The set endpoint links a secret to an existing destination using the secret name
and mount path and triggers a sync operation. If the secret is already
associated with the destination, Vault performs a refresh without recreating the
link. Triggering a refresh is useful to push the secret to external systems
or retry a failed sync operation if the underlying problem that caused the
failure has been resolved.

<Note>

  Only KV-v2 secrets are supported at the moment.

</Note>

## Remove association

The remove endpoint unlinks a secret from an existing destination based on the
secret name and mount path, and triggers an unsync operation. Unsync
operations delete the secret from the external system. The unsync operation
reports success if the targeted association is removed, does not exist, or the
secret was already removed from the external system.

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name for this destination. This is specified as part of the URL.

- `mount` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the mount where the secret is located. For example, if you can read a secret
with `vault kv get -mount=my-kv my-secret-1`, the mount name is `my-kv`.

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name of the secret to synchronize. For example, if you can read a secret
with `vault kv get -mount=my-kv my-secret-1`, the secret name is `my-secret-1`.

## List associations

This endpoint lists all secrets referenced by at least one association. Each secret can be associated with multiple
destinations, so the total number of associations can be greater than the total number of synced secrets.

| Method | Path                     |
|:-------|:-------------------------|
| `LIST` | `/sys/sync/associations` |

### Sample request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request LIST \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/associations
```

### Sample response

```json
{
    "request_id": "uuid",
    "lease_id": "",
    "renewable": false,
    "lease_duration": 0,
    "data": {
        "key_info": {
            "my-kv-1/my-secret-1": [
                {
                    "mount": "my-kv-1/",
                    "secret_path": "my-secret-1"
                }
            ],
            "my/kv/1/my/secret/1": [
                {

## Read destinations by secret

This endpoint returns all destinations associated with the provided secret reference.

<Note>

  The request is available either with path parameters or request parameters to support
  mounts or secrets with forward slash characters (`/`).

</Note>

| Method | Path                                  |
|:-------|:--------------------------------------|
| `GET`  | `/sys/sync/associations/:mount/:name` |

| Method | Path                                                                 |
|:-------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `GET`  | `/sys/sync/associations/destinations?mount=:mount&secret_name=:name` |

### Parameters

- `mount` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the mount where the secret is located. For example, if you can read a secret
with `vault kv get -mount=my-kv my-secret-1`, the mount name is `my-kv`.

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name of the synchronized secret. For example, if you can read a secret
with `vault kv get -mount=my-kv my-secret-1`, the secret name is `my-secret-1`.

### Sample requests

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request GET \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/associations/my-kv-1/my-secret-1

## Configure a custom GitHub app

Use the `POST` operation with `sys/sync/github-apps` endpoint to configure a
custom GitHub application for syncing secrets with GitHub repositories.


| Method | Path                         |
|:-------|:-----------------------------|
| `POST` | `sys/sync/github-apps/:name` |


### Parameters

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies a custom name for the GitHub
application that is used when configuring the destination. Although this can be any name, we recommend using the same app name configured in GitHub.

- `app_id` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the GitHub application ID, provided by GitHub.

- `private_key` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the private key used to authenticate with the GitHub application.

### Sample payload
```json
{
    "app_id": "true",
    "private_key":  "<PRIVATE KEY PEM>"
}
```

### Sample requests

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    --data @payload.json
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/github-apps/my-custom-app
```


### Sample response

```json
{
    "request_id": "uuid",
    "data": {
        "app_id": 123456,
        "fingerprint": "<fingerprint>",
        "name": "my-custom-app",
        "private_key": "*****"
    },
    "mount_type": "system"
}
```

## Read custom GitHub app

Use the `GET` operation with `sys/sync/github-apps` to view details about the
configured GitHub application.


| Method | Path                         |
|:-------|:-----------------------------|
| `GET`  | `sys/sync/github-apps/:name` |


### Parameters

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies a custom name for the GitHub application.


### Sample requests

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request GET \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/github-apps/my-custom-app
```


### Sample response

```json
{
    "request_id": "uuid",
    "data": {
        "app_id": 123456,
        "fingerprint": "<fingerprint>",
        "name": "my-custom-app",
        "private_key": "*****"
    },
    "mount_type": "system"
}
```

## Delete custom GitHub app

Use the `DELETE` operation with `sys/sync/github-apps` to delete a configured
GitHub application.

You cannot delete applications with active authentication destination
references. Deleting an application configuration **does not** delete the GitHub
application from GitHub.


| Method   | Path                         |
|:---------|:-----------------------------|
| `DELETE` | `sys/sync/github-apps/:name` |


### Parameters

- `name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies a custom name for the GitHub application.


### Sample requests

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request DELETE \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/sync/github-apps/my-custom-app
```
