Opsview 6.8.x End of Support

With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.

The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.

Network Services - SSH Opspack

Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server. Our SSH integration ensures your SSH is running at all times and properly securing your valuable information.

What You Can Monitor Copied

Opsview contains critical service checks to make sure your SSH connection is up and running. It also ensures port 22 is responding to requests and also checks that the process of SSH is running on your system. These types of checks allow for you to easily monitor your SSH connections and tie them into a larger dashboard view of your network infrastructure.
