Good idea. There's an existing oauth extension that could be used for this, but it requires exporters to use the standard HTTP exporter configuration module. The elastic search exporter currently defines all of its own configuration options, rather than relying on the standard package.

The code owners would have to look into the effort required here to move to use the standard library, and this would probably be a breaking change, but I think this is a valid request.
