Hi,

I have installed and configured http url on my heartbeat.yml (Heartbeat version6.3.2). My urls are working fine. Getting the login page. But heartbeat is trying to authorize those urls. I am not getting why? Below is my heartbeat.yml file:

```auto
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
heartbeat.monitors:
- type: http
  enabled: true

  # List or urls to query
  urls:
    - "http://cicdlax.soltstgroupsgs.abchq-d.openstack.abc.com/Plg"
    - "http://cicdlax.soltstgroupsgs.abchq-d.openstack.abc.com/MP/"
    - "http://cicdlax.soltstgroupsgs.abchq-d.openstack.abc.com/VPD/"
    - "http://cicdlax.soltstgroupsgs.abchq-d.openstack.abc.com/EM/"

  # Optional Authentication Credentials
  username: 'abcboot'
  password: 'Go4thabc'

  check.request:
    method: GET
    headers:
      'Authorization': 'Basic'
  check.response.status: 200
  # Configure task schedule
  schedule: '@every 10s'

  ipv4: true
  ipv6: true
  mode: any

- type: icmp
  name: icmp
  enabled: true
  schedule: '*/5 * * * * * *'
  hosts: ["cicdlax.soltstgroupsgs.abchq-d.openstack.abc.com"]
  ipv4: true
  ipv6: true
  mode: any
  timeout: 16s
#============================== Kibana =====================================

setup.kibana.host: "https://elkquest.unx.abc.com:5602"
setup.kibana.ssl.enabled: true
setup.kibana.ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/install/heartbeatinstall/certnew.cer"]
setup.kibana.ssl.certificate: "/install/heartbeatinstall/certnew.cer"
setup.kibana.ssl.key: "/install/heartbeatinstall/privatekey.pem"

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:

  template.name: "heartbeat"
  template.path: "heartbeat.template.json"
  template.overwrite: true
  output.elasticsearch.index: "heartbeat-*"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the output JSON is like this:

```

Please suggest me any changes.

The 401 status is coming from your service. Does `curl` work when accessing that service from the same box as heartbeat?

Yes, It gives authorization error. But I am passing the authentication credentials as well. It is not taking the credentials I think. Please check the yaml syntax.
