[prometheus-mysql-exporter] How do I provide SSL to MySQL connection

[deem1978]

Hello,
the issue is related to #491. The problem is that the link provided point to

# Extra Volume Mounts for the mysql exporter container
extraVolumeMounts: []
# - name: example
#   mountPath: /example

Could someone provide some explanation about how use SSL (or set the skip-verify flag) in values.yaml?
Thanks a lot to anyone wo will have a look into it.

If you wish to disable certificate verification, you can use config.extraArgs like this (General Flags):

config:
  extraArgs:
    - "--tls.insecure-skip-verify"

Better still, having the server's CA certificate, you should be able, for example, to

• put the CA certificate in a configmap under key ca.crt
• set

mysql:
  additionalConfig:
    - "ssl-ca=/tls/private/ca.crt"

• use extraVolumes and extraVolumeMounts for the configmap so that the key's value can get mounted at /tls/private/ca.crt, e.g.

extraVolumes:
  - name: mysqlca
    configMap:
      name: mysqlca
extraVolumeMounts:
  - name: mysqlca
    mountPath: /tls/private
    readOnly: true
