Header for Oauth in targets

[talset]

Some soft like Openshift provide metrics accessible through the openshit http api like. To collect metrics we need https (supported) and Oauth. But currently, we can't use Oauth.

To be able to use that, we have to add an header "Authorization: Bearer" like this :

  curl -s -k https://<host>:<port>/metrics -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Idea is to have header into targets declaration like :

# The targets specified by the target group.
targets:
  [ - '<host>' ]

# Labels assigned to all metrics scraped from the targets.
labels:
  [ <labelname>: <labelvalue> ... ]

header:
  [<headername>: <headervalue> ...]

Do you think it will be possible ?

Thanks,

@talset The functionality is there to do this now in master. Scrape configs can now have bearer_token or bearer_token_file set to add in the authorization header. Not sure if I updated docs or not actually.

Yup - the documentation will be added before the next release. It's tracked in prometheus/docs#152.
