I've configured a monitor to check out Minio instance. The section of the heartbeat.yml is below (address and credentials replaced with "x"s).

> - type: http  
> schedule: '@every 5s'  
> urls: ["[http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/minio/login](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/minio/login)"]  
> username: xxxxxx  
> password: "xxxxxx" \<--- quoted b/c the password includes non-alphanumeric characters

I can log into the site using the credentials with a browser and I have double checked the URL, etc.

Any help is appreciated!

Unfortunately a 400 error isn't much info. Are you sure that minio uses HTTP basic auth? It looks like you're pointed at a login page, which hints to me that it may uses a custom auth scheme.

Thanks for the quick response. I did some more research and discovered it does not use basic authentication, but rather AWS Signature Version 4. Is it possible to set that in the monitor configuration?
