option.
See the secret-store documentation for more details on how

Configuration
# Send metrics and events to SignalFx
[[outputs.signalfx]]
## SignalFx Org Access Token
access_token = "my-secret-token"
## The SignalFx realm that your organization resides in
signalfx_realm = "us9" # Required if ingest_url is not set
## You can optionally provide a custom ingest url instead of the
## signalfx_realm option above if you are using a gateway or proxy
## instance. This option takes precedence over signalfx_realm.
ingest_url = "https://my-custom-ingest/"
## Event typed metrics are omitted by default,
## If you require an event typed metric you must specify the
## metric name in the following list.
included_event_names = ["plugin.metric_name"]
# Functions
