This extension provides OAuth2 Client Credentials flow authenticator for HTTP and gRPC based exporters. The extension fetches and refreshes the token after expiry automatically. For further details about OAuth2 Client Credentials flow (2-legged workflow) refer https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.4.

The authenticator type has to be set to oauth2client.

Configuration

extensions:
  oauth2client:
    client_id: someclientid
    client_secret: someclientsecret
    endpoint_params:
      audience: someaudience
    token_url: https://example.com/oauth2/default/v1/token
    scopes: ["api.metrics"]
    # tls settings for the token client
    tls:
      insecure: true
      ca_file: /var/lib/mycert.pem
      cert_file: certfile
      key_file: keyfile
    # timeout for the token client
    timeout: 2s
    
receivers:
  hostmetrics:
    scrapers:
      memory:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:

exporters:
  otlphttp/withauth:
    endpoint: http://localhost:9000
    auth:
      authenticator: oauth2client
      
  otlp/withauth:
    endpoint: 0.0.0.0:5000
    tls:
      ca_file: /tmp/certs/ca.pem
    auth:
      authenticator: oauth2client

service:
  extensions: [oauth2client]
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [hostmetrics]
      processors: []
      exporters: [otlphttp/withauth, otlp/withauth]

Following are the configuration fields

• token_url - The resource server's token endpoint URLs.
• client_id - The client identifier issued to the client.
• client_id_file - The file path to retrieve the client identifier issued to the client. The extension reads this file and updates the client ID used whenever it needs to issue a new token. This enables dynamically changing the client credentials by modifying the file contents when, for example, they need to rotate.
  This setting takes precedence over client_id.
• client_secret - The secret string associated with above identifier.
• client_secret_file - The file path to retrieve the secret string associated with above identifier. The extension reads this file and updates the client secret used whenever it needs to issue a new token. This enables dynamically changing the client credentials by modifying the file contents when, for example, they need to rotate.
  This setting takes precedence over client_secret.
• endpoint_params - Additional parameters that are sent to the token endpoint.
• scopes - Optional optional requested permissions associated for the client.
• timeout - Optional specifies the timeout on the underlying client to authorization server for fetching the tokens (initial and while refreshing). This is optional and not setting this configuration implies there is no timeout on the client.
