The cockroach debug encryption-active-key command displays the encryption algorithm and store key for an encrypted store.
Synopsis
$ cockroach debug encryption-active-key [path specified by the store flag]
Subcommands
While the cockroach debug command has a few subcommands, users are expected to use only the zip, encryption-active-key, merge-logs, list-files, tsdump, and ballast subcommands.
We recommend using the job-trace subcommand only when directed by the Cockroach Labs support team.
The other debug subcommands are useful only to CockroachDB's developers and contributors.
Example
Start a node with Enterprise Encryption At Rest enabled:
$ cockroach start --store=cockroach-data --enterprise-encryption=path=cockroach-data,key=aes-128.key,old-key=plain --insecure --certs-dir=certs
View the encryption algorithm and store key:
$ cockroach debug encryption-active-key cockroach-data
AES128_CTR:be235c29239aa84a48e5e1874d76aebf7fb3c1bdc438cec2eb98de82f06a57a0
