JSON + Prometheus SECURELY

A while ago I wrote this post where I demonstrated how to scrape JSON-based metrics into Prometheus.

A YouTube user commented to ask how they'd do this securely - ie. if the endpoint was behind basic auth.

In this new video, I demonstrate how to scrape a JSON endpoint that is "secured" behind basic authentication. As a bonus, I also put the json_exporter probe endpoints behind basic authentication.

As always a GitHub repo is available for the hands-on.
