Welcome to the forum, @btaylorjr!

Do you mean the check_by_ssh plugin? If so, then you can use a different login. First, transfer the key over to the account on the remote machine:

Code: Select all

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]

and then use the "-l" option with the check_by_ssh plugin to specify the account:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H 192.168.55.3 -l bob -C uptime

These are small changes to the same commands that https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ng_SSH.pdf outlines.
