Removing Columns and http monitoring 401 error 🔗 link

Hello all,

I somehow created 2 new columns in the dashboard while I was trying to fix a http monitor. I've removed my changes and the columns still show up. How do you remove them from the dashboard?

My second issue is I'm wanting to monitor a URL and am only wanting to know if its alive. Since it requires authentication I'm getting HTTP status 401 error. How can I only monitor if it's up or down? Here is the last thing I've tried:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    fs1     #     httpstatus=http;https://workfolders.somesite.k12.or.us;200

Thanks!
Cory

On your xymon server, run the following command:

/usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop <CLIENT> <COLUMN>"

to remove the column.

this works on my machine with http auth:

sni httpstatus;https://xymon.example.com;^([23]..|4013);^(40[02456789]|5..)

This allows status code 401 and 403 for example among others. See also:

under "httpstatus"
