Step 2: Verify that your SSH Monitoring Dashboards is up and running This file will only be used locally and will never be uploaded to IDERA Uptime Cloud Monitor. You can specify the path to the RSA or PEM file to be used to authenticate your SSH connection.Default is none.įigure 6: Executing the Custom Metrics Agent installation script with values being set for the path to the RSA/ PEM file Specify the User to be used for SSH connections.Specify the URL/ IP address of the remote server to be monitored via SSH.Specify the unique identifier for the remote server being monitored via SSH.Set the URL or IP for the remote server.Unique identifier, Unique_id, for the remote server, something like: monitor_wiki_server.Custom Metrics Group Label, group_label:.Custom Metrics Group Name, group_name:.Monitoring frequency (sample rate in seconds): įigure 5: Executing the Custom Metrics Agent installation script with values being set for the Custom Metrics Groups and Dashboard and the SSH connection parameters.User and Group for running service as the default values:.Just hit to select the defaults.įigure 4: Executing the Custom Metrics Agent installation script with user as copperegg, Group as copperegg and monitoring frequency as 60 seconds Item specified in square brackets ( ) are the default. You will need to configure the following items in the agent installation process.As soon as the script starts running on a terminal with root access, it starts downloading the required Custom Metrics Agent for SSH monitoring.Paste the command copied above into the terminal window and press to run the script.Open Linux terminal window on the on-premise server where you want to install the agent.Click on icon to copy the installer script to your clipboard.Click on Remote Server Monitoring (SSH) icon displayed above.įigure 3: The installer script for the Custom Metrics Agent for SSH Monitoring Login to your UCM account and navigate to Custom tab -> Getting Started. Step 1: Custom Metrics Agent Command Line Installation for SSH Monitoringįigure 2: Navigate to Custom Tab -> Getting Started inside IDERA Uptime Cloud Monitor Configure alerts to be notified about SSH connectivity & performance issues.Verify that your SSH Monitoring Dashboard is up and running.Custom Metrics Agent Installation for SSH Monitoring.There are three steps that you need to do to start monitoring a Remote Server for SSH accessibility: If any SSH connectivity issues arise, an alert will be triggered and you will be notified about it immediately. Once this setup is completed, the Custom Metrics Agent will regularly check that the remote server is accessible via SSH. During this installation process, you will be asked to provide the URL/ IP Address and the SSH credentials of the remote server. The Custom Metric Agent for SSH Monitoring will be installed on your On-Premise Server. You need root access on the Remote Server being monitored via SSH, to install collector (System Metrics Collector Agent)įigure 1: The Basic Architecture of the SSH Monitoring setup.This is needed to install the Custom Metrics Agent in /usr directory. Root access to an on-premise server that can access the remote server via SSH.If you don’t already have an account, sign up for a 14 day FREE TRIAL of Uptime Cloud Monitor (no Credit Card required). Login to your Uptime Cloud Monitor account. ![]() If you are not familiar with the concept of custom metrics as used in Uptime Cloud Monitor, please go through this appendix once before continuing with this document. Uptime Cloud Monitor from IDERA offers a SAAS based out-of-the-box solution for monitoring a Remote Server using SSH. ![]() You can configure and receive alerts on any of these metrics. The full set of remote server metrics that are monitored is listed here. High load on the Remote Server: If the CPU, Memory, Load or Network Input/ Output on the Remote Server exceed pre-configured thresholds, alerts can be triggered.Availability of the Remote Server via SSH: Alert if the remote server is not available via SSH or if the SSH ping takes longer than 5 seconds.You can configure and receive alerts for the following scenarios: Are your scripts using SSH to connect to a remote server to perform automated operations on a regular basis?Īs an illustration, you can now monitor SSH connectivity to your remote server using IDERA Uptime Cloud Monitor to ensure that the server is accessible via SSH and is not overloaded.
