Hello,
I have to monitor a web status page wit the following example data:
[20][28][247][37][47][118][30][5222]
This works perfectly with the HTTP Content Sensor.
But I want to secure this status page with Basic HTTP Authentication. I can see fields to put in Username / Password only on the HTTP Advanced Sensor. In the HTTP Content Sensor I couldn't see this fields.
Thank you in advance.
Dennis

Hi,
this is correct. I'm afraid the HTTP Content sensor does not support authentication. Sorry.
Best regards
