Description
Hello.
We are using stackdriver_exporter with short lived static accounts keys generated by Vault.
Default lease time is 1 hour.
Currently, we can't notify stackdriver_exporter when key is updated, so we just restart it.
Is there any good ways to work with such dynamic secrets?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how stackdriver_exporter loads Google credentials and how Vault-issued keys are updated; done means credentials can be refreshed without restarting the exporter.
