The prometheus docs have the below: # Sets the `Authorization` header on every scrape request with the # configured username and password. # password and password_file are mutually exclusive. basic_auth: [ username: <string> <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#string> ] [ password: <secret> <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#secret> ] [ password_file: <string> <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#string> ]
What is the format of password_file? I know you can create a file with htpasswd, but that has the hashed version of the password so would assume that isn't what the scrape config needs to make a request to a /metrics with basic auth. Any examples around? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
