check_by_ssh missing

Post by cshaffer »

This is actually a continuation of CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon, but it is locked. By the way. These probably seem like dumb questions, but this project was started by someone else who never got it working and has now left the company. I wasn't involved in the original Nagios server setup. But we need this, so I am going to finish it.

I have switched to checking with ssh from checking with NRPE. The setup has gone fine and I can connect to the remote server without a password. I am ready to test the check_by_ssh command and find that there is no check_by_ssh plugin in the /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory. I do find the plugin in the /usr/local/nrdp/plugins directory, but none of them seem to be for redhat or cent os. I see AIX/powerpc, SunOS/sparc, SunOS/i386, and Darwin/i386.

Where do I find the correct plugin?

The check_by_ssh plugin should be located on the nagios XI server in the /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory, not on the remote host.
