Harvest supports two output formats from the script: YAML and plain text. +When running Harvest inside a container, tools like `jq` and `curl` are not available. +In such cases, you can use a Go binary as a credential script to fetch authentication information. For details on using a Go binary as a credential script for Harvest container deployment, please refer to the [GitHub discussion](https://github.com/NetApp/harvest/discussions/3380). + ### YAML format If the script outputs a YAML object with `username` and `password` keys, Harvest will use both the `username` and `password` from the output. For example, if the script writes the following, Harvest will use `myuser` and `mypassword` for the poller's credentials.
