This was added to run ilo_exporter without showing credentials via "ps xa" by any user on a system running it as if it is started with
-api.username=user -api.password=passthenps xa |grep ilo_exporterwill show credentials in cleartext so I added the few lines to enable running it as a systemd service or via a container without using the two parameters that divulge credentials.Example:
In terminal 1:
In terminal 2:
The systemd service file:
/etc/systemd/system/ilo_exporter.service(with a copy of ilo_exporter in /usr/local/bin/ with chown nobody:nobody and chmod +x)
Systemd override conf file
/etc/systemd/system/ilo_exporter.service.d/override.confwith chmod 600 and chown nobody:nobody
