A little success. This time I have no "configuration error" I have added the following in commands.cfg file =========================================== define command{ command_name check_ssh command_line $USER1$/check_ssh $ARG1$ $HOSTADDRESS$ } ========================================== The "define service" entry for SSH in localhost.cfg is ========================================= define service{ use local-service ; Name of service template to use host_name localhost service_description SSH check_command check_ssh!-t 5 -p 22 } ========================================= And the web interface is showing SSH OK :-) I like to monitor remote server also to check the services there. What should I do to monitor "Remote Linux Server" ? Please give me some hints. many thanks -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joydeep Bakshi, Linux System Admin Kolkatainfoservices Pvt Ltd, 23A Royd Street, Kolkata 700016, India Work Phone 91 033 40014784 http://infoservices.in/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
