Infoblox SSH Availability Test

SSH (Secure Shell) is the primary method for secure remote CLI access to Infoblox appliances. SSH allows administrators to manage, troubleshoot, and monitor the Infoblox Grid or individual members using a secure terminal connection. By continuously monitoring the SSH in the target Infoblox, this test alerts the administrators if the SSH is available or not. In addition, this test reports the response time thereby enabling the administrators to make corrective actions.

Target of the test : An Infoblox appliance

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Infoblox appliance that is to be monitored.
