Overview

The HTTPS Provider takes an HTTPS URI to a file and reads its contents as YAML to provide configuration to the Collector. The validity of the certificate of the HTTPS endpoint is verified when making the connection.

Usage

The scheme for this provider is https. Usage looks like the following passed to the Collector's command line invocation:

--config=https://example.com/config.yaml

Notes

The provider currently only supports communicating with servers whose certificate can be verified using the root CA certificates installed in the system. The process of adding more root CA certificates to the system is Operating System-dependent. For Linux, please refer to the update-ca-trust command.
