Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I've got a case where I need to create a check that fails if an SSH login succeeds and is OK if the login fails. Just wanted to check to see if there's anything existing that can do this before I re-invent the wheel.

Thanks!

Hi @keiferb and thank you for your post.
It appears that something like this exists already, on exchange.nagios.com.

This plugin can be used to execute other plugins, the state returned by the other plugin can be changed by the negate
plugin. For example when a check is normally considered to be in a Critical or Warning state, but the system
administrator would instead prefer to see an OK when in such a state

Hope this helps!

This seems like exactly what I needed. Thank you!
