Looks good to me, just some minor suggestions.


When encryption at rest is active, Couchbase Server encrypts sensitive data stored on disk.
This includes logs, configuration files, audit files, and other files generated by Couchbase Server and the services running in the cluster.
The `cbcat` tool enables you to decrypt and view the contents of encrypted files that were created when encryption at rest was active.

Suggested change

The `cbcat` tool enables you to decrypt and view the contents of these encrypted files.

I think we don’t need to repeat “when encryption at rest was active” since that’s already mentioned in the first line.

You can only use one of these options.

--with-keystore <json>::
A JSON representation of a keystore containing the keys that were used to encrypt the files you want to decrypt and view.
