Is there a way to pass encrypted credentials to ocprometheus from cli #80

Hi, I am testing ocprometheus on Arista. We want to configure everything from CLI using daemons. This is how the config looks like currently in our lab: daemon ocprometheus exec /sbin/ip netns exec ns-MGMT /mnt/flash/ocprometheus -config /mnt/flash/ocprometheus.yml -addr localhost:6030 -username arista -password arista no shutdown

However - what I don't like is having username and password in clear text in the run config. Is there any way to either pass this credentials in encrypted manner?

You can configure mTLS authentication by using the trust config in the ssl profile used by management api gnmi. See https://www.arista.com/en/um-eos/eos-control-plane-security#concept_y2p_5dc_5mb Then you would configure ocprometheus with the -cafile, -certfile, and -keyfile config.
