+# Set the password to use to authenticate with the master and slaves.
+# Useful if there is a password set in the Redis instances to monitor.
+#
+# Note that the master password is also used for slaves, so it is not
+# possible to set a different password in masters and slaves instances
+# if you want to be able to monitor these instances with Sentinel.
+#
+# However you can have Redis instances without the authentication enabled
+# mixed with Redis instances requiring the authentication (as long as the
