Can we mention username in metricbeat redis module ie. /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/redis.yml?

I tried two approches to add username

1. in module.hosts field:  
`hosts: ["redis://username:password@localhost:6379"]`

2. in module.username field:

```auto
 username: my_username
 password: my_password

```

But got unlucky.

Tips and suggestion will appreciated!

Not 100% sure, but think only the password is configurable. Try with just the password. [password configuration in metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-redis.html). Also, assuming you aren't asking how do I get metricbeat data into redis, which would be a different solution (try /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml instead).
