The prometheus docs have the below:
What is the format of password_file? I know you can create a file with htpasswd, but that has the hashed version of the password so would assume that isn't what the scrape config needs to make a request to a /metrics with basic auth. Any examples around?
# Sets the `Authorization` header on every scrape request with the
# configured username and password.
# password and password_file are mutually exclusive.
basic_auth:
[ username: <string> ]
[ password: <secret> ]
[ password_file: <string> ]What is the format of password_file? I know you can create a file with htpasswd, but that has the hashed version of the password so would assume that isn't what the scrape config needs to make a request to a /metrics with basic auth. Any examples around?

The file must just contain the password in plaintext.
