Description

The Solr exporter for Prometheus/Grafana provides a useful visual layer over the solr metrics api for monitoring the state of a Solr cluster. Currently this can not be configured and used on a secure Solr cluster with the Basic Authentication plugin enabled. The exporter does not provide a mechanism to configure/pass through basic auth credentials when SolrJ requests information from the metrics api endpoints and would be a useful addition for Solr users running a secure Solr instance.
