AW: WG: check_by_ssh - Usage

[Koop, Lutz (external)]

ok, i think you need help with ssh (?)

first you have to generate a public key on your nagios-server with your
nagios user (man ssh-keygen)
then install this key on your destination host in
<dest-host>:/<check_user>/.ssh/authorized_keys)
then check if you can login over ssh without typing a password
after that you can use check_by_ssh

i have copied all the plugins to the destination host to
/usr/lib/nagios/libexec

my checkcommand:
# 'check_by_ssh' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_by_ssh
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -l
root
        }

service:
# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use

        host_name                       t1ws02
        service_description             DISK /
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  unix-support
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command
check_by_ssh!"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /"
        }

i hope that helps you

Lutz

thanks but that does not really seem to help me on how to use it - does 
anyone have any 'how-tos's around
