SSH to linux machine from Nagios

Post by amocops »

I got the plugins to traceroute and ping systems from the host detail page (quick actions). It would be great to have an "SSH to host" option there as well where it would open a shell (in the php page, or otherwise) alowing you to quickly ssh into the machine.

SSH from the web interface would probably have to user Ajaxterm, which will actually be included in the 2012 version of XI. The only challenge with that is that you still have to log into localhost first in order for the connection to be secure (It uses an https proxy to access the shell).
