I am developing a backend service which exposes APIs. I have decided to use vault to store the tokens to access these APIs.

Right now I am storing and rotating the keys manually in vault. This is my sample code to read secrets from vault.

func (v *vImpl) readSecret (name string)  {
    secret, err := v.client.Logical().Read(path)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    /* process secrets*/

}

While reading the secret from vault, I would like to check if the key has been stored in vault for the past 6 months. If so, I would like to rotate it.

Is there a way to check when the key was added in vault?

Could you clarify what you mean specifically by "key"? It could have several different meanings in this context. I assume you mean authentication token for the time being. – Matthew Schuchard Jun 28 '22 at 14:46
That's right. I meant the authentication token. – Daffodil Jun 28 '22 at 21:29
What is your code for setting the client struct's member token? – Matthew Schuchard Jun 29 '22 at 10:47
