Encrypting sensitive field values is supported in the config.xml and agent.xml files. The agent will utilize encrypted fields based on the encrypted: and encrypt: prefixes.
When the Agent (or the Validate Configuration) starts, any configuration values prefixed with encrypt: will be encrypted and the configuration file will be rewritten with the prefixes changed to encrypted:.
You can encrypt passwords attributes and elements, as well as your decryption keys if desired.
