I just install sensugo 5.19.1 on centos7. When i configure it it show follwing error.

[root@dev-box-c7 ~]# sensuctl configure
? Sensu Backend URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080
? Username: admin
? Password: *********
? Namespace: default
? Preferred output format: tabular

Error: unable to authenticate with error: Unauthorized

Since it’s a new install did you initialize the backend to set to configure the initial username and password?

@todd got the same error: “Error: unable to authenticate with error: Unauthorized” while I tried to configure sensuctl via ansible config management and I wonder why your link is broken 404:-Page Not Found

Hey there–this thread is 2 years old. I’d recommend starting a new post with all the details pertinent to your issue instead of trying to resurrect this thread.
