Setting up Prometheus using basic authorization

Prometheus pulls information from PingCentral endpoints and stores the data it retrieves.

Steps

In PingCentral, in the conf/application.properties file, which resides in the PingCentral installation directory, locate and define the following properties.
```
management.metrics.export.prometheus.enabled=true
management.metrics.export.prometheus.step=5s
```
Save and close the file.
Restart PingCentral.

Set up the Prometheus prometheus.yaml configuration file and save it in the appropriate location.

Example:

The following example uses the prometheus.yaml file locally with basic_auth:

global:
scrape_interval: 15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
# scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:
# Metrics for PingCentral
  - job_name: 'pingcentral-metrics'
    honor_timestamps: false
    metrics_path: */actuator/prometheus'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    scheme: https
    static_configs:
      - targets: [ 'xxx.xxx.x.x:9022' ]
    basic_auth:
      username: Administrator
      password: 2Federate
     tls_config:
       insecure_skip_verify: true

Use insecure_skip_verification: true exclusively in development or test environments.
