I have Nagios XI installed and want to monitor remote Redhat machine using SSH. Installing the agent is likely not allowed in our environment.

This is from Nagios instruction from the page 2

Before you can use the check_by_ssh plugin, you must install/configure the following on the remote Linux/Unix server you want to monitor:

● Create a nagios user
● Install Nagios plugins and/or monitoring scripts
● Install and configure the SSH daemon

I downloaded the Nagios official plugins(I believe there are 50 plugins) and extracted the files, but there is no instructional step for install command. I read the README file, but this seems to give me the steps of making the install files from the source, I think.

Is there a simple command that will run the install in order for me to install the plugins that will include check_by_ssh plugin?
