Process SSH Service Health

Microsoft.AIX.6.1.Process.Ssh.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

AIX 6.1 Process SSH Monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The SSH daemon is not running. Check the Diagnostic and Recovery results to see if further action is required.

The daemon for SSH is named sshd. It provides secure encrypted communication between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. There should be at least one process running at all times.

Causes

An unhealthy state indicates that the SSH daemon is not running.

Resolutions

Check the daemon on the system by running 'ps -ef | grep sshd' or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager Console. If it is down, you can start the process using the command 'startsrc -s sshd' or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager Console.

For root cause analysis, check the system log file by using the command 'errpt', and view any related entries at the time of failure.
