ncpa-1.8.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64

I'm trying the ncpa passive agent for monitoring.
When the agent starts the log shows a syntax error. How do I trouble shoot this?

.vbs = cscript $plugin_name $plugin_args //NoLogo

%HOSTNAME%|cpu usage = /cpu/percent --warning 20 --critical 30
%HOSTNAME%|swap usage = /memory/swap/percent --warning 40 --critical 80
%HOSTNAME%|memory usage = /memory/virtual/percent --warning 60 --critical 80

As it turns out, with logdevel =debug, I can see that the nagios server is responding with HTTP401 auth required when posting results

How do I specify a user/password on the parent = https://..../nrdp/ parameter?

You should be able to use this URL.
