Hi Richard,
 
You just need to specify the port number as a parameter to your Plugin.
 
Heres what it says about check_ssh

Hello

 

For security reasons, I've changed some of the port settings from their
standard values - for example SSH is not on port 22.  What do I have to
do to get Nagios to monitor services using my port values instead of the
standard ones?

 

Regards

 

Richard Williams
