This feature allows you to obscure data before sending it as part of the analytics payload.
With this feature, Apigee uses SHA512 to hash the original value before sending data from the runtime
plane to the control plane.
You can set the salt value for the hash with the
axHashSalt
property in the overrides.yaml file. The axHashSalt property specifies a
value used as a salt when computing SHA512 hashes to obfuscate sensitive analytics data. Apigee
recommends using the same value across different clusters that host the same Apigee organization.
Apply the value with the apigee-org chart with the following command:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-08-29 UTC."],[],[],null,["# Obfuscate user data for analytics\n\nThis feature allows you to obscure data before sending it as part of the analytics payload.\nWith this feature, Apigee uses SHA512 to hash the original value before sending data from the runtime\nplane to the control plane.\n\nFor additional information on using data obfuscation, including information on enabling the\nfeature in environments, see [Obfuscate user data for Apigee API Analytics](/apigee/docs/api-platform/analytics/obfuscate-user-data-for-analytics).\n\nSet the salt value in Apigee hybrid\n-----------------------------------\n\nYou can set the salt value for the hash with the\n[`axHashSalt`](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.15/config-prop-ref#axhashsalt)\nproperty in the `overrides.yaml` file.
