prometheus opsgenie heartbeat basic auth almost working

[Yosef Yudilevich]

opsgenie may take this header:

https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/authentication

Header Key: Authorization
Header Value: basic base64($apiKey)




the problem we when add:

        basic_auth:

          password: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee

what is being base64 encoded as ":aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"

(notice the column)

so do you think it is possible to remove the column in case that one of username/password is not provided?

then we get opsgenie heartbeat for free

i can submit PR if that is possible

PS

also wanted to update that it is possible to send notifications to https://deadmanssnitch.com/ without PD on the way

just send webhook to address they provide and it works

thanks

Unfortunately it can't be changed since it's against the RFC [1] and the Prometheus code relies on the Golang net/http library [2] that does just the right thing.

Not sure why OpsGenie chose this way.

[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-2

[2] https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Request.SetBasicAuth

Thanks - I have replied to the thread - looking on how to implement this from server side to monitor services are up and running.

[Yosef Yudilevich]

for whoever is interested, so now it is not complicated at all and may be done without

so many components involed

thanks opsgenie for working to  fix a problem with empty username

```

Hi Yusef,

Do you still have to create an alert rule to trigger this, or does this method ping the endpoint without the need to create a deadmansswitch alert rule?

Cheers

[David Karlsen]

you need an alert rule.

alert -> amanager -> webhook (opsgenie)
