Jira Prometheus URL redirects to Jira login page

[reyd...@gmail.com]

Hello.  When I use a web browser, the Jira Prometheus URL (/monitoring?format=prometheus) redirects to the Jira login page.  Upon login, I can view the Prometheus-formatted response with no issues.

However, how can Prometheus itself access the monitoring URL?  The instructions say we can try using Basic authentication, but when I test that technique using curl, Jira always replies with an HTTP 302 to redirect to the Jira login page.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

In the case of the plugin for JIRA / Confluence / Bamboo (like with the plugin for Jenkins), the authentication to access the monitoring page is coupled with the native authentication of JIRA / Confluence / Bamboo.

So if you want to use Prometheus, you need to disable the native authentication to the monitoring page by adding the system property in JIRA: -Djavamelody.plugin-authentication-disabled=true

then it is recommended to add another way to restrict the access to the monitoring page, for example with basic auth by adding the system property in JIRA like: -Djavamelody.authorized-users=user1:pwd1

bye,

Can one also use a token instead of username and password?
