Nagios Support Forum

Anyone know if this is possible?

Hi all.

Is it possible to get Nagios to have a Service check that would log into a web interface with a username and password?

I know how to do this with curl for .htaccess but want to know if it possible for a web page that doesn't use .htaccess.

Had a search around google and couldn't find anything regarding this.

My Nagios VM has 5 IP addresses for the purpose of netdisco but I would like to only send Nagios checks from only one source network interface/IP address (if possible).

Is this feasible?

Thanks This can be closed then!

Ah I see, thank you for confirming that. I saw that and assumed that was the case, but wanted to make sure I wasn't going mad as I couldn't find anyone on Google with the same "issue". Thanks Scott. I assume there is no way to change this behaviour so they are just straight links? No worri...

I am getting some strange behaviour when switching between pages on Nagios. When I am on page with either Hosts or Services, then click on any of the links under Host Status Totals or Service Status Totals: Capture.PNG So Up, Down, Unreachable, Pending, All Problems or All Types When the page change...

This can be marked as solved now.

Apologies, I did know about the sudo thing but forgot to mention.

Weird that the behaviour changed to need sudo when it didn't when I first installed nagios!

Thanks I've added those lines but still getting prompted sadly:

nagios@nagios:/$ service nagios restart
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to restart 'nagios.service'.
Authenticating as: notroot
Password:

Stupid question but where am I adding those two lines?

To note doing the following prompts for password:

service nagios restart

But doing the following doesn't:

sudo service nagios restart

This wasn't the case last week.
