# `/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
