Metrics route authentication

[Hazmi35]

Is there a way to authenticate into /metrics? Well you could, set a cookie header, but is there anything like Basic config or something?

Hi @Hazmi35

Yes, you can authenticate into /metrics by providing a Basic authentication header. Base64 encode a string of your user:password and pass it along as Authorization: Basic <encoded string>.
