Description

Use Case

I've setup OTEL collector to listen on gRPC with basic authentication but there's no option to do so for telegraf's opentelemetry output. Is it possible to add basic authentication to telegraf's opentelemetry output?

Expected behavior

Unable to send metrics to OTEL OTLP that use basicauth extension.

Actual behavior

N/A

Additional info

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement basic authentication support in the OpenTelemetry output plugin for Telegraf by adding configuration fields for username and password, and modify the gRPC connection to include credentials from the 'basicauth' extension.
