You'll need to call the check_http script with the -u option. The default "check_http" command doesn't do this, so you'll have to create a new one. Since you're also querying a custom port, you'll need to pass that info along too. Something like this is one way to do it: define command { command_name check_http_path command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H '$ARG1$' -u '$ARG2$' -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ } define service { use generic-service ; Inherit default values from a template host_name remotehost service_description HTTP check_command check_http_path!<a href="http://172.168.1.1:82/" target="_blank">172.168.1.1:82</a> <<a href="http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en" target="_blank">http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en</a>>!/xap/murl2?language=en <<a href="http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en" target="_blank">http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en</a>>!25!50 } -- Justin Pasher ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:04:58 -0500 From: Justin Pasher <<a href="mailto:justinp@newmediagateway.com">justinp@newmediagateway.com</a>> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios, memory tests, and Linux hosts...

The problem is really not a Nagios problem, but an HTTP authentication problem. Nagios uses HTTP authentication, and that means that the user name and password are sent with every single request. So when you try to reset this variable, it will get set right back to what it was the next time the user requests a page. HTTP authentication did not envision ever logging out; that is one of the reasons why most Web sites today use Web forms and session-based logins instead. I think there are tricks around this problem with HTTP Auth, though. shadih rahman wrote: > All, > Is it possible to create logout for nagios web interface.
