if you make use of the class in your hosts.cfg you could check that ssh
is running and check the port as well if all your hosts use the standard
port.

All my AIX and Linux servers have CLASS:aix or CLASS:linux on their
hosts.cfg entries and my analysis.cfg has the following,

CLASS=linux
         PROC /usr/sbin/sshd 1    

CLASS=aix
        PROC sshd 1 

I could also include the port check if it wasn't for the fact that 1
server uses a non standard port so I have the port checks in the
individual files in analysis.d directory.

Thanks all for response

Indeed i need an real ssh-network test
as indicator for heavily paging working-nodes ..

In real the machines are responding with ping
but fromt to time ssh is not working anymore .. :-(

So, i've had to still add the ssh-tag behind each host ...

Oh sorry.. and if you want it to be a default across all machines, you can put this at the top of your hosts.cfg file

0.0.0.0 .default. # ssh

Just put "ssh" on your servers in your hosts.cfg file.  Then the Xymon server will do a remote ssh connection test.

Thanks all for response

Indeed i need an real ssh-network test
as indicator for heavily paging working-nodes ..

In real the machines are responding with ping
but fromt to time ssh is not working anymore .. :-(

So, i've had to still add the ssh-tag behind each host ...

thanks & cheers

if you make use of the class in your hosts.cfg you could check that ssh
is running and check the port as well if all your hosts use the standard
port.

All my AIX and Linux servers have CLASS:aix or CLASS:linux on their
hosts.cfg entries and my analysis.cfg has the following,

CLASS=linux
        PROC /usr/sbin/sshd 1

CLASS=aix
       PROC sshd 1

I could also include the port check if it wasn't for the fact that 1
server uses a non standard port so I have the port checks in the
individual files in analysis.d directory.
