Secrets Manager Console not showing my secrets

0

Apologies, my mistake, was looking at the wrong service!

Secrets Manager console shows that I have no stored secrets. I have admin access, I am in the correct region, and I can access the secrets fine via the API.

This is a new development, as I didn't have this issue a few months ago with the old console layout.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This issue could be related to a few different factors. First, it's important to verify that you are indeed looking in the correct AWS region, as secrets are region-specific.

Given that you can access the secrets via the API, it's likely that your permissions are correct. However, it's worth double-checking that you have the necessary permissions, specifically the "secretsmanager:ListSecrets" permission, which is required to view the list of secrets in the console.

The fact that this is a new development and coincides with a change in the console layout suggests it might be a UI-related issue. Here are a few things you can try:

  1. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try accessing the Secrets Manager console again.

  2. Check if there are any filters applied in the console that might be hiding your secrets.

  3. Look for an option in the console to show secrets that are scheduled for deletion. Sometimes, secrets that are marked for deletion are hidden by default.

  4. Try accessing the Secrets Manager console from a different browser or device to rule out any local browser issues.

  5. Verify that there are no ongoing AWS Secrets Manager service issues in your region by checking the AWS Service Health Dashboard.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, and you're certain that you have secrets stored (as evidenced by your ability to access them via API), you may want to contact AWS Support for further assistance. They can help investigate if there's a specific issue with your account or the Secrets Manager console in your region.
