check_by_ssh help

[Brian O'Mahony]

I have an appliance that I cannot install anything on. However I can connect via ssh. I can run remote commands with check_by_ssh, eg

check_by_ssh -H hmc -C "lsled -m ratbat -r sa -t phys" -l hscroot -s /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa

This checks my HMC for the status of the attention LED on an AIX box.

However, whatever the option is it comes back as OK in nagios. Is there a way to use check_by_ssh to check for a specific word?

Also, the list active/deactive systems command puts each system on a separate line, which I would rather all be in one continuous line.

It is not possible to write anything to the remote machine.

Regards

B
