The LinuxMonitor ZenPack demonstrates the new Secure Shell (SSH) features. This example ZenPack includes functionality to model and monitor several types of device components for devices placed in the /Server/SSH/Linux device class by running commands and parsing the output. Parsing of command output is performed on the Zenoss server or on a distributed collector. The account used to monitor the device does not require root access or special privileges.

This ZenPack is provided for developers as it provides some examples of how to create SSH performance collecting plugins. See the Zenoss Developer's Guide for more information about the new SSH features.
