A clarification:
Curl example using the RedHat Satellite API:

curl -X GET -s -k -u sat_username:sat_password https://satellite6.example.com/api/v2/

In json file, how can i build this header with:

Authorization: Basic dXNlcl9zdXBlcnZpc2lvbjpNY1VBSG41UGxadjZ6a0JSYlRlc2ZR

to the right of Basic we have a base64 of the string username:password

Hi! You should use this syntax:

{
  "http": {
    "requests": [
      {
        "name": "endpoint",
        "hostname": "1.2.3.4",
        "authorization": {
          "username": "myuser",
          "password": "mypass"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

hello,

It does’nt work.

My json file :

    "http": {

      "requests": [

        {

          "name": "tasksRequest",

          "hostname": "%(constants.hostname)",

          "proto": "%(constants.protocol)",

          "port": "%(constants.port)",

          "endpoint": "/%(constants.customPath)/tasks?per_page=1000",

          "authorization": {

                  "username": "user_supervision",

                  "password": "testsupervision"

          },

          "timeout": 30,

          "backend": "curl",

          "rtype": "json",

          "parse": [

            {

              "name": "entries",

              "type": "body",

              "path": "$.results[*]",

              "entries": [

                {"id": "id"},

                {"id": "label"},

                {"id": "result"},

                {"id": "start_at"}

              ]

            }

          ]

        }

      ]

    },

My command line :

usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_protocol_http.pl --plugin=apps::protocols::http::plugin --mode collection  --config='satellite-tasks-http-collection2.json' --constant='hostname=satellite-connected.cnamts.admtangers' --constant='days=0' --debug

And the result :

I think the centreon_protocol_http.pl plugin does not handle "authorization"
