AW: AW: Monitoring solaris server without installi ng any plugin

[Thomas.Zimmer at oppenheim.de]

Hi Dash, you still need plugins on your solaris machines even if you use the
check_by_ssh cmd. A sample check_command should be included within the
sample-config. You simply execute a plugin remotely with check_by_ssh. The
option -C "..." is used to pass the command and options for the plugin. But
you can use all shell-script-plugins and perl-plugins, uf a perl-interpreter
is installed on your production machines.
For generating a private/public key pair for authentication without typing a
password, there exist a lot of howtos on the internet.
I hope that helps.
Ah, generally i think it´s no good idea to execute commands via ssh. I
didn´t do any real performance checks on this, but i expect executing a
check via ssh utilizes the cpu and network a lot more than using nrpe or
nsca. Perhaps someone can give a more exact statement in this issue?
However, my system is running about 100 checks via ssh in very short
intervals without abnormal CPU- or network-utilization.
If you like to, I could try to send a package of my compiled plugins for a
solaris 9 system, but I may have probs to pass the firewall...

Hi Joseph,

Thank you very much. As far as the check_by_ssh is concerned how can I use
this. Do I need create any configuration file in the nagios server for
check_cy_ssh to work? And for ssh authentication how can the nagios server
communicate with remote host? If you can point me to some information for
utilizing check_by_ssh command.

Regards,
Dash

I will post them tonight. I am at a client where I cannot connect to my
server so I cannot get them until tonight. Look at the check_by_ssh plugin
it is also a way to do this

I wrote a lot of my plugins to run commands through an RSA ssh connection
from my Nagios machine to other machines. This way there is no code on the
monitored machine.

Hi List, 

I want to monitor few of the Solaris machines, but those all are production
servers and they don't have any compiler installed on it. Is there any way
to monitor the services without installing any software on the machine? If
any of you have come across of the same kind of situation and found the
solution for this, then please provide the information regarding this.
