### Storage Backend
We support the following storage backends for storing private keys:
1. [Filesystem](docs/filesystem.md)
2. [AWS Secret Manager](docs/aws_sercret_manager.md)

### Monitoring
The signer exposes prometheus metrics on the `/metrics` endpoint. You can scrape these metrics using a prometheus server.

## Using AWS Secret Manager as a backend for cerberus
You can use AWS Secret Manager as a backend for cerberus. To use AWS Secret Manager as a backend, you need to set the `STORAGE_TYPE` environment variable to `aws-secrets-manager`.
All the public keys are stored in `cerberus/<pub-key-hex>` format.

You have two options for authenticating with AWS Secret Manager:
### Environment variables
You will need to set the `AWS_AUTHENTICATION_MODE` environment variable to `environment`. This is the default mode. You will also need to set the `AWS_REGION`. If you are using a profile, you can set the `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable. If you are using the default profile, you do not need to set the `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable.

Example
```bash
cerberus \
--storage-type aws-secrets-manager \
--aws-region us-east-2 \
--aws-profile SomeProfile
```
### Specified
You will need to set the `AWS_REGION`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables.

Example
```bash
cerberus \
--storage-type aws-secrets-manager \
--aws-region us-east-2 \
--aws-access-key-id SomeAccessKey \
--aws-secret-access-key SomeSecretKey
```

## Using Filesystem as a backend for cerberus
You can use Filesystem as a backend for cerberus. To use Filesystem as a backend, you need to set the `STORAGE_TYPE` environment variable to `filesystem`.

You will need to setup the storage directory where the private keys will be stored. By default, the private keys are stored in the `./data/keystore` directory. You can change this by setting the `KEYSTORE_DIR` environment variable.

Example
```bash
cerberus \
--storage-type filesystem \
--keystore-dir /path/to/keystore
```
