I have connected to my AWS secrets and able to refer those in my n8n credentials section. but unable ti view what the data it has retrieved, as the flows are failing i would like to view the details that has been retrieved from AWS secrets. Is there a way we can do that in n8n cloud
Hey @prasad welcome to the community!
Are you using an Enterprise plan?
Could you please share the error?
Here is my secret in AWS secret manager, how can access it. I am able to read that value, but how to view what value it has read. when i using the credentails it’s giving me the error..
Could be useful to know exactly the error that you are seeing. For example check out this case. Meanwhile I suggest to verify a couple of things:
- Double-check you have the right IAM permissions
- Since exposing the values from secrets is not a common practice for security reasons, I would suggest to try by adding a code node after you read your secret to explicitly see the parsed values in the n8n execution output
As per n8n, we are able to read the secrets only in credentials. After reading the credentials there are by default masked. How do i view that secrets in code node, can you please share the sample code
Unfortunately I’m not an enterprise user but I think you could try something like this:
Any update for this topic? i have same issue
No you cannot access the $secrets variable through the code node.
You can’t view the secret inside of your n8n instance. Only in your external secrets manager
