Re: Failed monit commands after changing password

[Martin Pala]

Nope - it is almost certainly a configuration issue. If monit was reloaded, then it is likely that your Monit CLI uses different monit configuration file then your monit daemon. 

To get the configuration file the CLI is using, run monit with debug options:

monit -vtI | grep "Control file"

You can see the path which is used by monit daemon in the GUI by clicking on the "running" link - the path to the configuration file is in the "Controlfile" field:

Hello, 
Yes i did a monit reload, the new password is working well on the web panel.
However, it's not working on the CLI.
It seems like a bug on monit ?
Thank you

Hello,

did you reload monit after the configuration was changed?:

monit reload

 If not, monit daemon is still using original credentials, whereas the CLI tries to login with new credentials.

Best regards,

Hello list,
I used monit to monitor processes on debian.
I use this configuration that works

set httpd port 2812 and
   use address 0.0.0.0 
   allow 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0  
   allow monit:monit

Then i needed to change the basic authentification password, i can use the new password in the admin web panel, but when i try monit tasks, "monit unmonitor all"  for example, i get the following error: 
You are <b>not</b> authorized to access <i>monit</i>. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g. bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required

Any idea how to deal with this.
Thank you
