Can I get some help with setting up a custom SSH monitor for Linux machines. I have look through the admin docs and the various web pages out there and I am still not able to get anything working. The most detailed info I have found is;

http://wiki.zenoss.org/Writing_Command_Data_Sources

I following this process it still does not work for me and I am making it as simple as echoing a value to graph.

Thanks

You should also give this post a read, it helped me get mine up and working.
