[Check_mk (english)] sftp check not working

Thanks Brian, but i’m confused.

If i go to : host & service parameters -active checks - check sftp service and make a new rule, there is a checkbox for Port where i supposedly can enter the portnumber it should find the sftp service on.

What is this for then?

What you describe looks like i’ll be redefining the way check_mk looks if the host is there, instead of checking a service

You’ll want to change the rules of:
Host & Service Parameters

  • Host check command

  • Check connecting to a TCP port

Add the rules for each to the affected host so it looks at port 8022 instead of 22.

Use host check command TCP Connect to port 8022: https://cl.ly/0abee6dbc072

And check connecting to a TCP port: https://cl.ly/357bbad6575f

Put the explicit host in the conditions area for both

Wait a few minutes and you should be checking port 8022 and go green for your check

Hi Guys,

had some time to look into this again:

  • Made a new check to external sftp service-> Works as expected

  • SFTP check to my own sftp server: still not working (sftp server and check_mk server in same lan, using local IP, check assigned to check_mk server)

  • changed the port of my own sftp from 8022 to 22 -> works!

So it looks like the check can’t handle a different port? I would expect to click the ‘port’ box and just type the new port 8022 but that is not working.

Anything else i should do?

Has anyone else tried this on different port with failure/ success?
