oauth2 > tls_config
refers to a tls_config
block defined inside
an oauth2
block.

password_file | string | File containing the basic auth password. | no | |
password | secret | Basic auth password. | no | |

The following pairs of arguments are mutually exclusive and can’t both be set simultaneously:

key_pem
andkey_file
When configuring client authentication, both the client certificate (using
cert_pem
or cert_file
) and the client key (using key_pem
or key_file
)
must be provided.
When min_version
is not provided, the minimum acceptable TLS version is
inherited from Go’s default minimum version, TLS 1.2. If min_version
is
provided, it must be set to one of the following strings:
"TLS10"
(TLS 1.0)"TLS11"
(TLS 1.1)"TLS12"

(TLS 1.3)
Exported fields
The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
targets | list(map(string)) | The set of targets discovered from the Kuma API. |
The following meta labels are available on targets and can be used by the discovery.relabel component:
__meta_kuma_mesh
: the name of the proxy’s Mesh__meta_kuma_dataplane
: the name of the proxy__meta_kuma_service
: the name of the proxy’s associated Service__meta_kuma_label_<tagname>
: each tag of the proxy
Component health
discovery.kuma
is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid
configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy
values.
Debug information
discovery.kuma
does not expose any component-specific debug information.
Debug metrics
discovery.kuma
does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.
Example
discovery.kuma "example" {
server = "http://kuma-control-plane.kuma-system.svc:5676"
}
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = discovery.kuma.example.targets
forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}
prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
endpoint {
url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL
basic_auth {
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
}
}
}
Replace the following:
PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL
: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.USERNAME
: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.PASSWORD
: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
