Service Accounts instead of PAT for OTEL Config in DDN

Component

Observability - Open Telemetry

Is your proposal related to a problem?

In the current OpenTelemetry (OTEL) configuration process within DDN, the requirement to obtain a Personal Access Token (PAT) is tied to individual user accounts. This user-based approach poses potential security risks, especially in deployment scenarios. Best practices suggest utilizing Service Accounts to enhance security by minimizing reliance on personal tokens and ensuring a more controlled and manageable authentication process.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a feature that allows the use of Service Accounts for OTEL configuration in DDN, instead of the current user-based token system. This change would align with security best practices and provide a more robust solution for managing deployments.
