Description of problem:

When using a CloudWatch output:

- name: testOutput
  type: cloudwatch
  cloudwatch:
    region: us-east-1
    groupName: test
    authentication:
      type: iamRole
      iamRole:
        roleARN:
          key: role_arn
          secretName: CloudWatchTestSecret
        token:
          from: secret
          secret:
            key: token
            name: CloudWatchTestSecret

Every time I update the token in the CloudWatchTestSecret, all Vector collectors get restarted.

That is a problem when I have 64 outputs and their Secrets need to be updated every hour or more often.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.3

How reproducible:

100

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update the auth Secret token
2. Observe the Collector Pods restarting

Actual results:

Collector Pods restarting upong auth Secret token update

Expected results:

No Pod restart.
