Redo docs for system backend
This commit updates the API documentation for the system backend to
break things apart on a per-page basis and provide specific examples.
This pattern will give more flexibility for future documentation as
well.

/sys/revoke-prefix

The /sys/revoke-prefix endpoint is used to revoke secrets or tokens based on prefix.

Revoke Prefix

This endpoint revokes all secrets (via a lease ID prefix) or tokens (via the tokens' path property) generated under a given prefix immediately. This requires sudo capability and access to it should be tightly controlled as it can be used to revoke very large numbers of secrets/tokens at once.

Method Path Produces
PUT /sys/revoke-prefix/:prefix 204 (empty body)

Parameters

  • prefix (string: <required>)  Specifies the prefix to revoke. This is specified as part of the URL.

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
