running scripts remotely

[jwu]

I have the NagiosXI server that runs CentOS6.5, the server i'm trying to monitor is a SAN that runs Solaris.
I have a script that works on Solaris, is there a way I can run ssh on NagiosXI so I can run the script remotely,
or is there any other method I can run? I couldn't locate any ssh binaries on the NagiosXI server.

You could probably use check_by_ssh for this:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ng_SSH.pdf

[jwu]

is the check_by_ssh a plugin?

[tmcdonald]

is the check_by_ssh a plugin?

Yes. The linked documentation will walk you through setting it up and configuring a check with the SSH Wizard.

[jwu]

reason I'm asking is in the document, there's a command
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H remoteip -C uptime
I don't have the check_by_ssh file, will that be an issue?

You definitely should have one. What XI version are you running? Can you run the following command and post the output?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec

That is interesting, this is a part of the plugins package, and should be added with the normal install. Let's go ahead and reinstall the plugins specifically and see if it comes back properly.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf xi*.tar.gz nagiosxi nagiosxi-*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagiosplugins/
./install

ll /usr/local/nagios/libexec | grep ssh

[jwu]

I was able to get this work, feel free to close this thread.
here's FYI
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... f=6&t=9541
I ran into the same issue, I was not able to get this issue resolved.
Only the test command was not working, it was working on the backend and was able to be added to Nagios.
maybe there is some configuration/permission issues that need to be modified.

[abrist]

The test command is limited. It is not so smart about escaping, and it runs as apache, not nagios. Just FYI. Lockin' 'er up!
