Scheduled SSH Backups

Post by davidnc2021 »

I'm trying to schedule an SSH backup from my NagiosXI (ver 2024R1.4.1). It seems both "Test Connection" and "Test SCP Transfer" fail. I tried configuring a job but its also failing. I'm running OpenSSH on a Windows Server in our environment. I've ran the SFTP sucessfully from the CLI but can't seem to get it working from the GUI. Any suggestions?

What happens when you scp a file from the nagios server to the backup server directory with the username/password defined in the backup page?

It run successfully without any issues. It seems to be an issue within the GUI. What am I missing?

If it works from CLI, it's almost definitely a GUI config issue.
