Going Nuts trying to get check_by_ssh to work

[steve f]

Thanks for your help with this.  

I commented out the sshd.conf section calling for a banner & resent the following successfully:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec> ./check_by_ssh -H 10.X.XXX.XXX -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0 -c 10.0'
OK - load average: 0.12, 0.15, 0.16|load1=0.120;5.000;10.000;0; load5=0.150;5.000;10.000;0; load15=0.160;5.000;10.000;0;

Edited the nagios cfg files  & looks good now.

I cannot run my clients without the banner , due to SOX & PCI compliance. 

So, what I was able to do is run the check_by_ssh plugin with the -q option and after putting the banner piece back in, the check works perfect.

./check_by_ssh -H 10.xxx.xxx.xxx -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0 -c 10.0' -q
OK - load average: 0.55, 0.33, 0.22|load1=0.550;5.000;10.000;0; load5=0.330;5.000;10.000;0; load15=0.220;5.000;10.000;0;

Again, thanks for your involvement getting this resolved,  Rod & Benny.  Hopefully it helps someone else down the road.

Regards,

Steve
