How can I use munin-node apache_ with basic authentication?

  • 772

munin-node-configure --suggest tells me that the apache_* nodes cannot be used:

apache_accesses            | no   | no [Port 80: Authorization Required]   
apache_processes           | no   | no [Port 80: Authorization Required]   
apache_volume              | no   | no [Port 80: Authorization Required]

This is correct: the virtual-host is the only accessible site and is put behind a simple .htaccess login.

How can I configure the apache_* nodes to login with basic authentication? Is that possible at all?

    After diving into the sourcecode for the apache_ nodes, I found the documentation on this issue in there: 

    If you need authenticated access to the URL you can specify the
username and password in the URL.  For example:

  [apache_volume]
     env.url http://munin:spamalot@localhost/server-status?auto

    This works.
