Research direction
Investigate the Nvidia DLS API documentation at https://ui.licensing.nvidia.com/api doc/dls api docs.html. Study the Telegraf inputs.http plugin to understand current authentication mechanisms. Consider implementing a custom HTTP client that handles the token acquisition and reuse as described in the community forum post. Look at existing Telegraf plugins that perform similar multi step authentication (e.g., inputs.http with custom authenticator).
