Issues with check_by_ssh

[James Osbourn]

Looking at your command from your terminal example and then looking at your command_line from your Nagios definition and your check_command statement the fields all seems to be backwards

The things that I can see are

-          Your Nagios configuration is using the root account to connect to the server and your command line definition is using Nagios

-          Your command_line is being passwd 'ipxenserver' as the remote command to execute

-          You command_line is being passwd your remote command as the ssh key to use.

-          You have a trailing ! in your check_command definition which we create a variable with no value

I think your command definition and need to be updated, something like this

define command{
        command_name    check_xen_cpu
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -l $ARG1$ H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG2$ -I $ARG3$
        }

define service {
       service_description                 XenServer CPU Load
       host_name                                  ORL-XEN-02
       check_command                      check_by_ssh_xentop!nagios! /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_Xencpu.sh! /root/.ssh/id_rsa
       }
