Hello.
How do I configure SSH authentication?
Our PRTG runs on Windows 2008 R2, but we want to monitor a Linux Web server which only allows login from /etc/.ssh/known_hosts. Where do I make or get the required information to authenticate.
Until now, there are two entries in /etc/.ssh/known_hosts
11.22.33.44 ssh-rsa VTZUBHTBUHNIJFTUN....
22.33.44.55 ssh-rsa SAWERJIF....
What do I need to enter there to allow access from the PRTG-Server?
Bye

Hello.
I'm afraid this is not supported by PRTGs SSH-Sensors in the moment.
sorry.
