You would have to either install some sort of agent on that machine like NRPE that could execute the command, or setup shared ssh keys and execute the command with something like check_by_ssh

Page 1-5 of this doc can show how to setup ssh

thanks but i want run script on VMA for esxi servers as i know check_by_ssh not use for esxi servers that script have to connect to each esxi server and run on esxi servers and i'm sure this topic have to put on nagios demo on vm
and also i did trust between VMA server and nagios server thus can connect to VMA server via nagios server without authentication

So you want this script to run on the VMA server or the ESXi Server?

[baber]

i know this script had to run on esxi server via vma server
now i create a trust key between nagios and vma server and when use ssh command from nagios server
ssh vi-admin@vma


also i add my esxi server to vma server while type ssh root@esxi1 on vma server it connect without authentication
it connect to vma server without authentication now my problem is how run above script on vma server through nagios server ?

That's what I was mentioning, you could connect from the nagios server to the vma via ssh (check_by_ssh) and kick that script off.

Another option would be to install an agent on the vma such as NRPE

so thanks
my script now is ok i run it with follow command through nagios server

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -E 1 -t 90 -l vi-admin -H vmaSERVER -C /home/vi-admin/nagios/storage_chk0.sh

that command excellent but how do i have to define service in .cfg file

i use this command but not work

check_command check_by_ssh -E 1 -t 90 -l vi-admin -H 172.20.68.205 -C /home/vi-admin/nagios/storage_chk0.sh

first you need to define a command for check_by_ssh if you don't have one

Code: Select all

define command {
    command_name    check_xi_by_ssh
    command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

Then you can add the line like this

Code: Select all

check_command   check_by_ssh!-E 1 -t 90 -l vi-admin -C /home/vi-admin/nagios/storage_chk0.sh|
