it looks like line 31 is looking for utils.pm
run the following:
and then update line 31 to use that location.
for example,
Code: Select all
use lib /usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.pm

This plugin does not work with ssh, it only works telnet. You might want to look into another plugin if you require ssh access.

Searching for
"check cisco ping ssh" doesn't come up with what you need, so chances are there's not a plugin written for it that supports SSH. I didn't find anything on Google either. It shouldn't be too hard to modify the script to use SSH.
