Perhaps a silly question, and yes I've RTFM'd the online documenation - I'd
like to know how to tell Marvel to use a username and password (and
basic\_auth) to talk to the ES servers? We have jetty configured to deny
write access without user/pass and of course Marvel needs to know what
those credentials are.
Thanks,
A.

Hi Al,
try settings the following in your elasticsearch.yml:
marvel.agent.exporter.es.hosts: ["user:passwd@host:9200"]
Cheers,
Boaz

Thanks Boaz... tried that, and it doesn't seem to want to use the
credentials; from tcpdumping on lo I can see that it wants to do a PUT to
/\_template/marvel, doesn't try supplying auth credentials and of course it
gets a 401 back. It doesn't seem to want to retry the request with
authentication credentials.
Regards,
Al.

Hey Al,
We just release marvel 1.0.2, which contains support for basic auth for the
data shipping. Can you give it a spin?
