Create a New Check

Create a new monitoring check.

SSH tunneling options allow the different check types to tunnel to a host via a proxy, and execute checks relative to the proxy. A SSH tunnel can use your account generated public and private key-pairs or SSH password. It is strongly recommended to use a key-pair.

To enable SSH tunneling for a check, add tunnelOn, sshHost, sshUser, and optionally, sshPort and sshPassword parameters to any check type config as seen earlier in the Check Types section.
