getting some unwanted link message in httpd access log file

Post by zaji_nms »

dear expert,
why we are getting following messages in /var/log/httpd/access_log " "POST /nagiosxi/backend/ HTTP/1.1" 200 806 "-" "BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)" what does it mean ?

is it some security threat / vul ? how to stop it ?

That's normal, and part of our software. It's just the User Agent we define for some internal function calls. You can see references to it in the Nagios XI code:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost nagiosxi]# grep -R "BinGet" /usr/local/nagiosxi/
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/nagioslogserver/plugins/check_nagioslogserver.php:              'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/nagiosxiserver/plugins/check_nagiosxiserver.php:        'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/utilsx.inc.php:        'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
