Prometheus scrap and cookie

[Mohana Ramaratnam]

I am looking at recommendations on how to use cookie with Prometheus http/https scrap configuration. 

I am trying to scrape metrics from a site which requires login credentials. Using cookie is preferable for site performance on each scrape request. 

I have looked into messages in this group regarding cookie use and it seems one cannt use cookie. Is this correct? 

I also saw some recommendation to use mod_auth_form.

Anybody who has solved this problem of using cookie with http/https scrape?

Thanks in advance,

Mohana
