Web Page Content Check for HTTPS site not working

[ecarrasq]

Linux Distribution and version? CentOS, 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5PAE
32 or 64bit? 32bit
VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? VMware Image
Are there specials configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? No
Are you using a proxy? No
Are you using SSL? No
Nagios Version? NagiosXi 2001R3.1


Issue:
I'm using the NagiosXi Website Monitoring Wizard, for a web page content check; However, I keep getting

"HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"

Though I launch the website on my browser and I can login manually just fine. The one thing I'm noting that may be of relevance is the login prompt is a "Pop-up" window after entering the https url.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as we are using this to validate Sharepoint Site is up, and database availability via this check.

Thank you,
Eddie

You should enter login credentials in the username and password field next to "Credentials:" when running the wizard.

I did.

I used the "NagiosXi Website Monitoring Wizard" and filled it out accordingly with username/password, that is why I got the

"HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"

which is why I created this ticket, but I cannot post the username/password here on this forum or on the attached screenshot.

When you ran the wizard, did you select the "Use SSL:" check-mark box? Can you show the actual command ran in the terminal, along with its output? You can remove the sensitive data.

This is the command line from NagiosXi. I substituted the data.

check_xi_service_http!-s "Word we are looking for" -H web.page.org -f ok -I <ip address> -u "/page1/page2/" -S -p 443 -a "username:password"

Don't know if you got this part, but just incase here it is "Though I launch the website on my browser and I can login manually just fine. The one thing I'm noting that may be of relevance is the login prompt is a "Pop-up" window after entering the https url."

Thank you for your time.

The "Pop-up" shouldn't be an issue. I am not sure why you are getting this. We were not able to recreated it. We ran a test check against a https site in terminal:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -s "Word" -H <URL> -f ok -I <IP> -u "/page1/page2" -S -p 443 -a "username:password"

and we got:

Code: Select all

HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 4937 bytes in 0.037 second response time |time=0.037347s;;;0.000000 size=4937B;;;0

When we plugged in wrong credentials, we got:

Code: Select all

HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required...

I know you said you can log in manually just fine, however the error indicates otherwise. Unless we have the URL and the credentials to log in, I am afraid we are not going to be able to troubleshoot this one. You can send us an e-mail at [email protected] and open a support ticket in our system, so we will be communicating via email.

Thank you for validating the scripts, as it was helpful to pinpoint the problem. I verified with the Server Admins that provided me the credentials, and was just told the site uses NTLM for auth, which maybe why its not working. In light of that I found this:

check_sharepoint.pl

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... pl/details

It works with both integrated NTML and forms based authentication, and I can do the "Search for custom string on page ". Seems a bit more complex, but worth a shot. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks everyone very much for you time,
Eddie
