csquire commented on issue #2801: Prometheus integration: requiring allowed ips 
is too restrictive

   Hi @rhtyd, thanks for your response. I understand it is by design, but there 
are good alternatives that don't require upkeep of a whitelist of ips.  
Prometheus itself does not secure the metrics, any metrics in the Prometheus 
database can be queried without authentication. Prometheus scrape configs also 
support authentication methods such as basic auth or bearer tokens which could 
also be used to secure the Cloudstack metrics endpoint as an alternative to ip 
whitelisting. Maybe a better solution than what I proposed above is support in 
Cloudstack for one of those auth mechanisms.
