What do you have in mind? just a simple variant with a fixed token in the config file instead of user/password, or a fully fledged OAuth 2.0 integration?
I could add the simple version if that helps.

[yuvalavidor]

the simple version will also give some value, since people have been using the password in that matter. these things could get passed as env variables or kubernetes secrets in templates anyways.

@fujimotos @weh :any update on this feature request. I am in need of this use case. when i use Authentication in custom header header {"Authentication": "BEARER "}, the value gets printed as such without mask in pod logs from fluentd.conf. @yuvalavidor Did you find any alternative or workaround for this usecase?
