Hello everybody,

Il use heartbeat to check some web site with check.request.
For example :

- type: http
  urls: [http://localhost:5050/myweb/app]
  schedule: '@every 1m'
  response.include_body_max_bytes: 10240
  check.request:
    method: POST
    headers: 
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    # urlencode the body:
    body: 'log=LOGIN&pwd=XXXXXXXX&component=$Form&page=Login&service=direct&If=F&submitmode=&submitname='
  check.response:
    status: 200
    body:
    - ControlText

This is work fine but it's not too secure to save login and password in config file.
So I store them in keystore file.
But, when I try to update my config file to use variables instead of login/password, I have error message.

New config with variable

- type: http
  urls: [http://localhost:5050/myweb/app]
  schedule: '@every 1m'
  response.include_body_max_bytes: 10240
  check.request:
    method: POST
    headers: 
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    # urlencode the body:
    body: 'log=${LOGIN}&pwd=${PWD}&component=$Form&page=Login&service=direct&If=F&submitmode=&submitname='
  check.response:
    status: 200
    body:
    - ControlText

Error message :
Error creating runner from config: job err can not convert 'object' into 'string' accessing 'check.request.body'

I try multiple configuration to solve this problem without any success.

If someone could help me ...
