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.

Logging in to Opsview Monitor

To access Opsview Monitor’s web user interface, you need to login to the system.

A user logs in based on their username and password combination stored in the configuration database. You can configure Opsview to use LDAP or Active Directory if you prefer.

For security, Opsview Monitor will block an IP address that has more than 50 failed login attempts within an hour, or block login by a user that has more than 10 failed login attempts in the last hour. These values can be configured in the Web App.

When a user logs in, the button will change to a spinner until the page is reloaded and the user’s home page is shown.

If an error message displays, then you have already hit the maximum sessions you are allowed to have, as configured by your system administrator (default: 10). This session limit covers both the UI and the REST API sessions combined.
