 +===== Agent over SSH =====
 +The official documentation has a great chapter on [[https://checkmk.com/cms_agent_linux.html#ssh|invoking the Agent over SSH]]. Please read and implement that, especially for internet-facing systems the use of ''xinetd'' is not really feasible.

 +One point in the documentation was not totally clear to me however, namely the part //Migrating Checkmk’s access to SSH//. There it says you have to go to ''Datasource programs -> Individual program call instead of agent access rule set.'' to activate the usage of SSH on the CheckMK server.
