Hi @fabry_00,

I'm not aware of a way to handle OAuth token-based pings in a Lightweight monitor. It is possible with a journey using a [similar approach covered in this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dec-8th-2023-en-authentication-in-synthetic-monitoring-with-playwright-and-elastic-synthetics/347290).

Hope that helps!
