NOTE 2: You can make changes to the selected script file by clicking
on the ‘Edit script …’ button.
NOTE 3: The “Generic Secure Shell (SSH) Check” requires logon
credentials (i.e. username and password or Private Key file) to
connect (authenticate) and run SSH scripts on a remote Unix-based
target computer. These credentials must be specified from the ‘Logon
Credentials’ tab available in the properties of the relative check. For
more information on logon credentials, please refer to the ‘Logon
credentials’ section in the ‘Configuring GFI Network Server Monitor’
chapter.
Linux/Unix Operating System Checks
File existence Check
GFI Network Server Monitor can search for specific files in a target
computer running on Linux or Unix (e.g. you can use this check to look
for scheduled batch job results. If the file exists, you will receive a
confirmation stating that the scheduled batch jobs have been
executed). You can also search the contents of an existing file for a
specified string (e.g. searching for “fail” or “failed” strings in the results
file of scheduled batch jobs can help you define if all jobs were
successful).
