Reading vault secrets from consul-template

How do I query just the value of a secret key from consul template ? From vault cli I would do

vault read -field=value secret/somekey

and it works fine. However, in the consul-template 

{{secret "secret/somekey"}}

returns something like 

{ 2592000 false map[value:11122222001040]

I can see it's outputting lease_duration etc along with the value. How do I get just the value in consul-template ?

In your template you will need to use:

{{with secret "secret/somekey"}}{{.Data.value}}{{end}}

In your config file you will also need a section for vault:

vault {
  address = "https://vault.service.consul:8200"
  token = "abcd1234"
}

or you could use the VAULT_TOKEN environment variable.
