Hi Dash, you still need plugins on your solaris machines even if you use the check_by_ssh cmd. A sample check_command should be included within the sample-config. You simply execute a plugin remotely with check_by_ssh. The option -C "..." is used to pass the command and options for the plugin. But you can use all shell-script-plugins and perl-plugins, uf a perl-interpreter is installed on your production machines. For generating a private/public key pair for authentication without typing a password, there exist a lot of howtos on the internet. I hope that helps. Ah, generally i think it´s no good idea to execute commands via ssh. I didn´t do any real performance checks on this, but i expect executing a check via ssh utilizes the cpu and network a lot more than using nrpe or nsca. Perhaps someone can give a more exact statement in this issue? However, my system is running about 100 checks via ssh in very short intervals without abnormal CPU- or network-utilization. If you like to, I could try to send a package of my compiled plugins for a solaris 9 system, but I may have probs to pass the firewall...

As far as the check_by_ssh is concerned how can I use this. Do I need create any configuration file in the nagios server for check_cy_ssh to work? And for ssh authentication how can the nagios server communicate with remote host? If you can point me to some information for utilizing check_by_ssh command.

I am at a client where I cannot connect to my server so I cannot get them until tonight.

Is there any way to monitor the services without installing any software on the machine? If any of you have come across of the same kind of situation and found the solution for this, then please provide the information regarding this.
