check_mk BI notifications

  • 772

I'm trying to configure Check_MK 1.2.8p20 (multisite-enabled) to work with BI notifications. I've set up the service account, have my aggregations working, but, upon check, I receive:

ERROR: Invalid json response (invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)): <!DOCTYPE HTML>

The long output produced by the agg check is the HTML for the login page as follows:

<html><head>

EDIT - ADDITIONAL NOTES Changed to form-based authentication, and login is still "successful", but now receiving:

ERROR: Aggregation "aggname" does not exist or user is not permitted

I've found very little documentation on the BI notifications, and am curious if someone has gotten this working properly.

Thank you

  1. I managed to get this working after configuring a user with an automation secret.

    $ /opt/omd/versions/1.2.8p25.cre/lib/nagios/plugins/check_bi_aggr -b http://localhost:5000/mva/ -a Loadbalancers -u automation -s TWFSNMHLHWEARRMYMHHV Aggregation state is OK
