Nagios Support Forum

I'm trying to add my sharepoint url to nagios, but I keep getting
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

the error message I receive is
===
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 10.1.100.43 -f ok -I 10.1.100.43 -u "/SitePages/Home.aspx" -p 15916 -a "<username>:<Password>"
OUTPUT: HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
===

when I run on nagiosxi and try other combinations, this is the best I got
===
[root@cvglobal ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 10.1.100.43:15916 -f ok -I 10.1.100.43 -u "/SitePages/Home.aspx" -a "<username>:<Password>"
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
===

the web address I'm trying to acess is cvg-sharep02:15916/SitePages/Home.aspx
it's probably a configuration issue, but not sure where the issue is

Are you able to run that from the command line on the XI server itself? Does it give you the same result?

it gave me the same results
I did double check the login credentials, and it was fine, was able to login

I ran this command, it failed on me
[root@cvglobal ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 10.1.100.43
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

maybe it's a networking issue...

Most likely this is actually due to sharepoint wanting ntlm authentication and check_http only working with basic. I would suggest looking on exchange for http checks that work with ntlm. I know there are several that should work perfectly fine with very similar arguments.

I went through and added it via Service, so I'm good
