Expected Behavior

What should have happened?
Updated the "Http basic auth" part in DataDog

Actual Behavior

What actually happened?
Updated header

Thoughts

I understand that the request_headers update the headers part.
My issue is rather a question. Is it possible to use terraform for updating the basic http auth (see attachment)?

The terraform example for auth that I can find is by using request_headers, but I cant get it to work. I have manually added username and password in the Authentication tab in DataDog, then the test works but terraform won't recognise the changes I made.

Got it to work, I had a error in by auth string.
But my question is still valid. Is it possible to use the http basic auth instead?
I think one difference is that the password gets masked when using that box.

Apologies for the delay in updating this thread.

Is it possible to use the http basic auth instead?

Not at this point I am afraid, it would be a feature to add to the provider at this point and we do not have any ETA for that right now.
