Opsview 6.8.x End of Support
With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.
The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.
Auto-Login
To facilitate automatic login into Opsview Monitor, a special user called Anonymous-Guest will be used so that if you hit the URL http://MYSERVERNAME].com/autologin, you will be automatically logged in as this user and taken to the Hashtags list page.
Take special care with the permissions that you assign to this User. If you delete the User, this will disable the auto login facility and an error page will be displayed.
If you want to use a link to a specific public Hashtag instead of to the Hashtags list page, construct an URL such using the following command as the opsview user:
perl -MURI::Escape -le 'print shift . "/autologin?back=" . uri_escape("/monitoring/#!/hashtags/detail?h=".shift)' http://opsviewserver.example.com HASHTAG
where you set your Opsview Monitor server address and the hashtag you want to call. This will generate the URL http://opsviewserver.example.com/autologin?back=%2Fmonitoring%2F%23%21%2Fhashtags%2Fdetail%3Fh%3DHASHTAG which you can then use as required.
