Authentication does not work.

[alineDiesel]

Hi,

We are using jenkin_exporter directly with python and we are trying to authenticate, but it does not seems to work.

We are using it with basic auth in the url, but it gives 403.
python -u jenkins_exporter.py -j https://user:password@url.com -p 9118

If we give it throught the args (--user --password) it freeze, and does nothing.
python -u jenkins_exporter.py -j https://url.com -p 9118 --user user --password password

How does the athentication works? the server must have a special configuration?

Bye

403 - Forbidden Seems like some kind of access permission issue.
Your credential is valid but your account does not have the access permission to use Jenkins API.

Check your permission by executing some API queries manually through curl or browser
(eg:- http://jenkins_ip:8080/api/json?tree=jobs[fullName%2Curl] ) .

And -u cmd switch is not valid for the script.

usage: jenkins_exporter.py [-h] [-j jenkins] [-p port] jenkins_exporter.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --user user --password password

I removed the account info.

Almost like the arguments aren't setup properly...i did not look at source yet.
