Is there documentation regarding how one authenticates to <address-manager-ip>:10048/metrics to access the Prometheus metrics exporter?  Running 25.1.2, it appears to be asking for/requiring a client certificate, but I can’t find any documentation about how one configures this.

Hey Tim

You need the client client.crt & key from /etc/prometheus on the BAM
curl --cert client.crt --key client.key --insecure https://192.168.1.2:10048/metrics

Hi ​@tmaestas , 

You could get the client.crt and client.key from /etc/prometheus/ folder in BAM and use it to authenticate. 

eg: curl --cert client.crt --key client.key --insecure https://<bdds/bam-ip>:10048/metrics

I will have ticket internally to update the docs with this information. thx.

Thanks ​@cgnanapragasam.  It seems you can also add a remote_write block in /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml to “push” a stream of metrics to another endpoint like Grafana.  I’d love to see the documentation fleshed out around the various options one has to push or pull metrics.  The docs currently allude to this being possible but then neglect to say anything about the methods for doing so.  I’m also not sure using the existing cert/key pair on the BAM for a 3rd party integration would necessarily be desirable if that pair is already used for something else (like the connections  between bdds/bam?)
