<DIV>Did you create the ssh keys with the nagios user? fmml@cedval.org wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hi all, I want to monitor items on an AIX machine using check_by_ssh. I have created keys. From a shell, I su to nagios and run the following: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H sweet -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 70,60,50 -c 90,80,70" OK - load average: 0.58, 0.27, 0.28 That works ok. Configured my command.cfg as follows: define command { command_name check_by_ssh command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ } Configured my service.cfg as follows: define service { use generic-service host_name sweet service_description Cpu Load contact_groups testadmins check_period workhours notification_interval 120 notification_options w,u,c,r notification_period 24x7 check_command check_by_ssh!"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 70,60,50 -c 90,80,70" max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 } When nagios is doing that check, it returns "Host key verification failed" Any ideas???
