I have a nagios server monitoring a unix server and use check_by_ssh to get results. It works great.
I have recently added a second NIC to this server to allow it to see a few boxes in a small isolated network. The nagios server can't see these boxes directly and I was thinking that I might be able to nest check_by_ssh to run some checks on things like disk and cpu. >From the unix server I can run the following on a command line and get an appropriate response. check_by_ssh -t 20 -H 192.168.166.2 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 7% -p /" If I try to encapsulate that into a nested check_by_ssh I get the following: check_by_ssh -t 40 -H 172.30.30.216 -C "/usr/local/nagios/check_by_ssh -t 20 \ -H 192.168.166.5 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 7% -p /"" check_by_ssh: invalid option -- w check_by_ssh: Unknown argument - (null) Is this possible to do? Or do I need to write some scripts to encapsulate the check_by_ssh command instead?
