New prometheus admin here, so please bear with me if I'm asking a silly 
question here.

I'm wondering if it's possible to read in parameters from an external file 
similar to the password_file parameter for basic auth.

We have a team wanting to monitor an endpoint exposed by the confluence 
plugin and to authenticate against that endpoint, a 'token' parameter is 
sent.  The configuration files for our Prometheus installation are in a git 
repository to which multiple contributors have access.  For the 
password_file parameter, the password file is encrypted in github via 
git-secret, and only decrypted when the prometheus server runs a local job 
that does a git pull on the repo followed by unmasking the encrypted 
credential files.  Is it possible to store a parameter (like the confluence 
token) in a file so that it can be encrypted in github?  If not - are there 
any recommendations for protecting the token?
