Hello,

I am trying to find some documentation on how to setup basic authentication for the Prometheus database. I was not able to find anything on Prometheus' documentation. However, I notice Grafana mentions that basic auth is possible for Prometheus  http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/prometheus/.

Is basic authentication possible and if so, where can I find the appropriate instructions in the documentation?

Thanks!
Prometheus Basic Authentication

I believe this is done by putting something line nginx in front of it. I
know of no authentication within Prometheus.
