Step 2 : Find the the actual secret . There could be various sources where you may get the secret , for example it may be in the IaC repository or any other source of truth related to the Asset

--Use the various conditional available to narrow dow the search 

aws secretsmanager list-secrets --query "SecretList[?contains(Name,'a_value')].[*]"
