Credentials problem #107

Closed urbaman closed 8 months ago

urbaman commented 8 months ago

Hi,

I have a problem with the exporter and credentials.

I created a "monitoring" user for metrics
I disabled TFA for the user, using group (the user is in the "monitoring" group)
I can access Nextcloud with the user, without TFA
Using the exporter with username/password, or with username/apppassword after having generated the app-password
The exporter logs "Error during scrape: wrong credentials"
Nextcloud version: Nextcloud Hub 7 (28.0.1)

Is there something else I am missing?

Ok, solved.

I had to put the user in the "admin" group. Now the user has no TFA ("monitoring" group) but has access to serverinfo ("admin" group).

Thank you.

Since Nextcloud 22, the recommended way of authenticating the exporter to the Nextcloud instance is no longer a user-account but a token configured just for this purpose. See token authentication in the readme.
