blackbox exporter simple auth config

[Kaufman Ng]

I am trying to use the http module to hit a REST endpoint enabled with https and basic authentication. But I keep getting 401 status. I confirmed the username and password works via curl command.

Anything wrong with my blackbox exporter config here? Thanks in advance!

modules:

  http_2xx:

    prober: http

    http:

      method: GET

      valid_status_codes: [200,401]

      fail_if_not_ssl: true

      headers:

        Host: "my-endpoint"

      basic_auth:

        username: "user"

        password: "mypassword"

Wild guess:

In the tls_config part you can optionally a ServerName setting. I'm guessing that's what you are trying to do with the Host header.

Does using that instead fix this?

Thanks Marcelo! Problem solved. I removed the host headers and it is working.

Updated good config:

modules:

  http_2xx:

    prober: http

    http:

      method: GET

      fail_if_not_ssl: true

      basic_auth:

        username: "username"

        password: "password"

Hi 

Could you please help with prometheus.yml example configuration for the basic auth ?

I tried with  your updated config in blackbox but NO LUCK.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, were you able to validate the host's username and password?
