Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to get the Check_by_ssh plugin to work using a custom script that I uploaded into XI through the plugin management part of the web interface. I noticed that the plugin I uploaded is actually owned by Apache... is this how it is actually supposed to work? I would think all plugins should be owned by Nagios user.

They can be owned by apache, but generally it is preferred to have nagios.nagios or nagios.nagcmd, as apache is part of both the nagios and nagcmd groups.

but the plugin files being owned by Apache is how this function is supposed to work?

If they are functioning under Apache ownership they are fine. It depends on which version of check_by_ssh you are using and where it is installed. Are you running into problems with the custom script you uploaded? Or is everything working ok?
