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.
