Nagios Support Forum

I am working on a proof of concept and wanted to try some remote command execution but found that there is no ssh, sftp, or scp command available on the Nagios XI appliance download. The appliance is working correctly for everything I have tested so far except for these missing files. Is this intentional? Can the files simply be copied in place from another Linux server or do I need to reinstall the open SSH? I can ssh to the system so SSH appears to be installed and working.

Now when you say there is no command, do you mean no nagios check command, or no command as in the actual program?

While logged in to the Nagios XI appliance as root at the bash prompt if you type ssh, sftp, or scp you get no command found. Files with the names ssh, sftp, and scp should be present in /usr/bin but they are not. Openssh must be installed because I connect from my workstation to the Nagios XI appliance via ssh and I am able to sftp files to it.

Will add what you are looking for.

What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using? What is the output of the following commands?

The "yum install openssh-clients -y" solved the issue. The commands are now present and functioning.

Thanks for the help.
