Hey guys,
I'm having trouble monitoring one of our websites and I'm hoping you can help.
This is a website hosted on a Linux server and I'm using the HTTPS Monitor to try and monitor if it's up or down. The error I'm getting though is Access denied, authorization failed. HTTP 401. Authentication required. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
The website has a login component, but I don't need to check authentication, I just need to know if the website itself is up (before login). I've also tried using the Search String to check for a word on the webpage with the logic being if the page is down, it won't find the word and will report it as being down.
For the monitoring credentials, I've tried 'inherit credential from node' which is how we have other HTTPS Monitors setup on Linux, but it's not working. So my question is, with this site being a login page, is it trying to use the credentials to authenticate on this page, or should the monitoring credentials just need access to the page itself?
Thanks for any feedback.
