SharePoint 2013 HTTP sensor 401 error

Modified on 2025-06-10 16:51:30 +0200

My organization suffered an outage where our business-critical SharePoint site was up and reachable, just the content would not display. To detect this ahead of time, we are trying to configure a sensor that will query the web server and check for the page header that will not be there if the web page displays a static error. Despite the fact that the account we are using can log into SharePoint no issue, the sensor gets a 401 - Unauthorized error. Any suggestions?

Hey,
We currently have an issue with this sensor type and therefore it can happen that the sensor isn't working. We hopefully solve the issue within the next versions of PRTG.
