OpenTSDB sink does not support auth and ssl

[ghost]

Hello,

I would like to push metrics through the OpenTSDB protocol on OVH Metrics

• Heapster can not push to a https url (here https://opentsdb.gra1.metrics.ovh.net).
• Heapster can not push with a basic authentication.

To reproduce:

Deploy Heapster with following sink:

--sink=opentsdb:https://{username}:{password}@{metrics_url}:443?cluster={cluster_name}

Then we received:

driver.go:87] failed to write metrics to opentsdb - Failed to send request for POST http://opentsdb.gra1.metrics.ovh.net:443/api/put?summary: Post http://opentsdb.gra1.metrics.ovh.net:443/api/put?summary: read: connection reset by peer

The sent request does not have nor the basic auth neither the https

Hipster version 1.5.2

Heapster is now deprecated, so we will no longer be adding new features or sinks. Please see https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/docs/deprecation.md#initial-deprecation-kubernetes-111 for more information.
