Hi Nick
Is this basic http authentication? I think check_http can support that (-a username:password) , and check_mk can handle check_http as a legacy check. Deprecated, but does a job!

(I’ve never tried to do this so apologies if this ends up as a wild goose chase for you).
I bet someone on this list has handled basic auth via check_mk though…

Jolyon

Hello!
Very new to check_mk, but long time nagios user. REALLY love check_mk (omd).
My question:
I have to monitor several websites that when accessed present a login prompt.
check_mk by default tells me they are down with a 503 because it doesnt try to login and gets rejected. I know the site itself is up, and have verified that.
Is there a way through the web gui to setup a check, where i can input a user/pass for it to attempt to authenticate so this check will be successful? Ive been poking around the gui and googling but have so far come up with nothing. Using the latest version.
Thanks for the help and thanks for such a great product!
