We have stats enabled on our haproxy loadbalancers, however we also have basic authentication enabled as a security measure.

Is it possible to pass the credentials from the metricbeat haproxy module so it can pick up stats?

I'm trying to generate some decent data so I can demo the Machine Learning features of X-Pack 🙂
