Description
Hi,
An automated responsible-disclosure scan found pattern(s) matching the following API key type(s) in this file:
Keys detected
- AWS Access Key → revoke at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam
Recommended actions
- Revoke each key immediately using the links above
- Remove the key(s) from the file and commit the change
- Purge from git history — keys remain accessible in old commits even after deletion. Use
git filter-repoor BFG Repo Cleaner - Rotate any dependent services that used these credentials
This is an automated alert. No keys were tested, validated, or used in any way. If this is a false positive, please close this issue.
Sent by a responsible disclosure scanner to help protect accidentally exposed credentials.

Research direction
Inspect docs/reference/filebeat/filebeat-input-httpjson.md at the referenced commit and review its git history for the detected AWS Access Key. Follow the alert's revocation, removal, history-purge, and dependent-service rotation steps; done means the credential is revoked and absent from the current file and repository history.
