FW: Uptime on Linux Servers

[Richard Santiago]

Thanks to all specifically to Mr. Joseph Petrucci.

 

Got it working perfectly with check_by_ssh.

 

I'm sharing his e-mail with all of you.

Try this 

 
     ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.  The user
     creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1).  This stores the
     private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and the public key in
     $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the userâs home directory.  The user should
     then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home
     directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to
     the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the
     lines can be very long).  After this, the user can log in without giving
     the password.  RSA authentication is much more secure than rhosts authen-
     tication.

	IN ssh you can setup a trust so that the nagios ID only needs the key file and a pasword is not asked for. I will ask the SA that set it up for me how to and get back to you.

		I wrote a plugin that basically used 

		 

		ssh <host> -l nagios /usr/bin/uptime

		 

		and parsed the information i needed. I also used the same approach for load average.

			Hi,

			 

			I'm tring to pull the uptime for all Linux servers into Nagios.  Besides using check_snmp (which I found nowhere and it's used by check_uptime) is there another solution for this?.

			 

			Thanks.
