Having difficulty to pass username and password in tinyproxy exporter

[NikhilVerma04]

Hello folks,
I've been using tinyproxy as a service and need to export its metrics. Found out that you've provided such service as prometheus exporter, but there is no parameter provided in your exporter to pass username and password of tinyproxy service.
So is there any alternative solution for that.

Please reach out if there is any so.
Thanks :-)

You can specify it using the form user:password@host:port for the proxy parameter
Note that for me, I had to specify another listening IP:port to make it works.

./tinyproxy_exporter -l 127.0.0.1:3333 -t user:password@127.0.0.1:8888
