Since we are saving our helm chart in a repository, we do not want to check in the grafan.ini config into Git since it contains Client Secret. Is there a way to reference that via Secret or ConfigMap ?

All I require is a secret that contains those variables with the specified format and reference the secret in the chart values.yaml
