Maxwell,

Which version of AIX are you attempting to monitor?

The current NRPE agent available for AIX is for versions 5.3 and 6.1, I am unsure of how it would react to AIX 7.1 though I believe others have compiled for it. Here is a link to our documentation if you are interested in :

As far as check by ssh, this is quite possibly something you can incorporate with this script, though we have no in house AIX servers to test with, I assume you have followed this documentation correct? You would need to add the script to the required directories and follow the path the Wizard takes to integrate them:

we want it to be monitored by SSH only...as far as the version is concerned...the script is a very basic one and should work on most of the versions of unix

Then I would follow slansing's suggestion and use

Just make sure that the nagios user can execute the script
