Elasticsearch_exporter (es_exporter) authentication steps are not working.

[shubhammugale]

We are trying to apply authentication on es_exporter, but we are unable to do so on the Ubuntu 22.04 machine. The document we found is attached here. Please let us know the configuration steps if it is possible to apply authentication for the es_exporter

Are you talking about the username/password to access elasticsearch or are you talking about protecting the /metrics endpoint of this exporter with authentication?

If you're asking about elasticsearch authentication, you can put the username and password in the elasticsearch URL or provide the environment variables instead.

If you're asking about protecting the /metrics endpoint, you can use the --web.config.file to specify basic auth credentials. See this documentation for more details.
