# `/sys/audit-hash`
The `/sys/audit-hash` endpoint is used to calculate the hash of the data used by
an audit device's hash function and salt. This can be used to search audit logs
for a hashed value when the original value is known.
## Calculate Hash
This endpoint hashes the given input data with the specified audit device's
hash function and salt. This endpoint can be used to discover whether a given
plaintext string (the `input` parameter) appears in the audit log in obfuscated
form.
The audit log records requests and responses. Since the Vault API is JSON-based,
any binary data returned from an API call (such as a DER-format certificate) is
base64-encoded by the Vault server in the response. As a result such information
should also be base64-encoded to supply into the `input` parameter.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :---------------------- |
| `POST` | `/sys/audit-hash/:path` |
### Parameters
- `path` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the path of the audit device to
generate hashes for. This is part of the request URL.
- `input` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the input string to hash.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"input": "my-secret-vault"
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/audit-hash/example-audit
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"hash": "hmac-sha256:08ba35..."
}
```
