Hey guys.
We are running Nagios Core 3.4.4.
We have a simple script on it , which is checking the user credentials for verity.
Few weeks ago I started to get false alerts about couple of users.

Host Group Hierarchy: Opsview > Office365Monitoring

After getting this error , we are checking the credentials manually, and it's all right with them.

A couple things here -

Is your service running just Nagios, or are you using Opsview? If you're using Opsview, we're unable to provide support for their product.

Can you run the check from the command line and see if it works there?

Dear Smith.
Thanks for Your reply.
Yes we use opsview too.
Just few minutes ago I've got one false alert. After 10 minutes, it gives back , saying that it's ok now.
What check do You mean my friend ?

We do not provide support for Opsview installs. You will need to visit their forums for help.
