Hi Martin,
Here below is the configuration for 4 sites we monitor using Monit:
*check host aHost with address aIPAddress
if failed url http://username:passw...@aipaddress/advancedSearch.jsp for
5 cycles then alert
check host bHost with address bIPAddress
if failed url http://bIPAddress/advancedSearch.jsp for 5 cycles then
alert
check host cHost with address cIPAddress
if failed url http://cIPAddress/advancedSearch.jsp for 5 cycles then
alert
check host dHost with address dIPAddress
if failed url http://username:passw...@dipaddress/advancedsearch.jsp for
5 cycles then alert*
I run monit using -vI and I got the following errors for aHost and dHost:
*monit HTTP server started
Monit started
Monit instance changed notification is sent to an email address
Monit instance changed notification is sent to an email address
'aHost' succeeded connecting to INET[aIPAddress:80] via TCP
HTTP error: Server returned status 401
'aHost' failed protocol test [HTTP] at INET[aIPAddress:80] via TCP
'bHost' succeeded connecting to INET[bIPAddress:80] via TCP
'bHost' succeeded testing protocol [HTTP] at INET[bIPAddress:80] via TCP
'cHost' succeeded connecting to INET[cIPAddress:80] via TCP
'cHost' succeeded testing protocol [HTTP] at INET[cIPAddress:80] via TCP
'dHost' succeeded connecting to INET[dIPAddress:80] via TCP
HTTP error: Server returned status 404
'dHost' succeeded testing protocol [HTTP] at INET[dIPAddress:80] via TCP
*
There were no issues with bHost and cHost that do not require
Http-basic-auth.
When pasting the URL from the montric file for aHost and dHost in a browser
I get correctly to the site. So the username and password for aHost and
dHost are correct.
I do not understand why I get HTTP error: Server returned status 404 when
the credentials are correct.
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards,
Max
