[Nagiosplug-help] check_by_ssh

[Gavin Snelgrove]

Hello,

I am trying to get the check_by_ssh plug-in to work but seem to be having
some issues

Nagios is working fine and I followed this guide to get it working in Ubuntu
7.10
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nagios2

I have been following this link as my guide for check_by_ssh.
https://services.ibb.gatech.edu/wiki/index.php/Howto:Software:Nagios:Check_By_SSH

The Remote server is running CentOS 5. I used the RPM package on the
following link to install the plug-ins on the remote server.  (Do I need the
check_by_ssh plug-in to be installed on the remote server as well?)
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/nagios-plugins/

I have gotten the SSH public key working so that I can connect via SSH as
the Nagios user without a password.

In the Nagios Web interface I see the following error:
(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

In the Nagios logs I see the following error:
[1209068727] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'SSH Check
Disk' on host 'host.domainname.com' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin
you're trying to run actually exists.

I don't want to provide too much information right off the start.  Let me
know what else you need or if you have any suggestions as to what I should
try.

Thank You,
Gavin
