redis receiver should allow to use a username in addition to password about opentelemetry-collector-contrib HOT 4 CLOSED

Adding the documentation label as the config option should be in the README

from opentelemetry-collector-contrib.

@rogercoll my bad, I only refered to the documentation, which does not mention it

I can confirm it works once username is added.

So only a documentation issue.

The current redis receiver has a username configuration option: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/receiver/redisreceiver/config.go#L29

Is this what you were referring to? Or an issue with the actual username configuration?

In the OpenTelemetry demo we are using the default ACL for Valkey which only requires a username: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo/blob/main/src/otelcollector/otelcol-config.yml#L18
