Re: Monitoring of Login attempts through Nagios
What authentication mechanism is being used? There are a *bunch* of different authentication mechanisms out in the wild. It would depend on the specific authentication/session management system your website is using.
Are you looking to validate whether or not a user *can* login to a website, or are you attempting to monitor how many login attempts have occurred in a time period?
If the former, check_http can handle basic authentication:
For forms-based authentication, you could try the Web Transaction configuration wizard mentioned in this documentation:

If the latter, and it's just basic authentication, you could use an agent like check_log3.pl executed via NRPE/NCPA on the remote web server to keep track of the number of attempts/successes/failures by parsing the webserver logs.
There are also a few different plugins for tracking active Tomcat sessions. Here's one of them:

Code: Select all
-a, --authorization=AUTH_PAIR
Username:password on sites with basic authentication
