<DIV>If you have a common user, you can use push_check to copy the scripts to the machines, if needed, then run them and report the output back to Nagios. You will need to set up shared key authentication so password is not required. So you will have to login at least once to each machine and copy the RSA pub key from Nagios machine to each *nix box in the users home dir (~/<FONT face="Courier New">.ssh/authorized_keys2)</FONT>. </DIV>

<DIV>Check out the docs on it.</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Guys,<BR><BR>I'm trying to figure out the best way to do some monitoring on some <BR>remote hosts. I really haven't gotten my head around all this stuff yet. <BR>I need to monitor stuff like disk, memory, processes, cpu load, etc. I <BR>see plugins that do all this great stuff for me. I have a user that has <BR>access to all of these machines along with his NFS mounted home area. <BR>Should I try to use check_by_ssh as that user and have a copy of the <BR>plugin scripts in the user's home area?<BR><BR>My boss wants me to avoid things like nrpe because it's another daemon <BR>we would have to install and script up for our deployment. It would be <BR>easiest for us if we could do the above.<BR><BR>If anyone can kick me in the right direction or send me some links I <BR>would greatly appreciate it.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Noel Carroll<BR>ECE IT Support<BR><BR><BR><BR>-------------------------------------------------------<BR>SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide<BR>Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.<BR>Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
