Hi,  
I am trying to monitor a healthcheck url but it has to first call a token API to get the token then pass the token value to the next healthcheck API which I actually want to monitor.

In the past, I'm using Logstash http-poller to call a token API to get a new token then pass the token to the next pipeline's http-poller to call the healthcheck API with the token in the header.

As I known about heartbeat. There's not any feature like I mentioned above. So how to manage this kind of token expiration problem when monitor URL which has to request with token?

The filebeat [HTTPJSON](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-httpjson.html#_auth_oauth2_enabled) input has the ability to use an OAuth2 token.  
Would that work for you?

I don't know what do you need exactly, but there was development around the HTTPJSON recently: [Salesforce auth support](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/29087).

Heartbeat doesn't really support that yet, but we'd like to with API journeys eventually! See the following issue: [Multi Step API Journeys · Issue #137 · elastic/synthetics · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/synthetics/issues/137)
