SiteScope is relying on mindterm.jar library to handle overall SSH connections and SiteScope 11.32 bundles the newer version of it to cover more secure connection options that work with many SSH servers today.

If your 11.24 is still able to connect to your SSH server but SiteScope 11.32 is failing, then there might be a chance that your target SSH server/configuration is somehow not able to work well with SiteScope 11.32 mindterm.jar new default options?

Perhaps you can test the SSH connection from GUI version of mindterm.jar on both 11.24 and 11.32 hosts to see if you can find out specific options that still allows you to login to your very same target SSH server. We can launch MindTerm console from command prompt as below. After accepting default pop-up questions for a couple of times, you can choose [File] > [Connect]  and you can test various combinations of options here, including [Security] options.

C:\Users\Administrator>%SITESCOPE_HOME%\java\bin\java -jar %SITESCOPE_HOME%\WEB-INF\lib\mindterm.jar



Perhaps you first want to find out some explicit combinations of working options esp. around [Security] tab from SiteScope 11.24 host, then try the same from SiteScope 11.32 host.

It is additionally recommended for you to enable DEBUG/TRACE at your SSH server side for further clues. Please check with your remote server admin/vendor for details on this setting.

Hi Nyanko,

Thank you for pointing out to test using mindterm. Interestingly the test connectivity to the remote server looks good including when performing test connectivity in the SiteScope Remote Servers Tab. The issue is when you create monitor for the remote server. It is not able to pull any monitor to add like windows service, resource monitor, etc...

So how stable your connection test results as of now? e.g. if you test connection 10 times, do you see successful results for all attempts? If you are facing some failures/long-holding, perhaps you again want to run GUI mindterm.jar in parallel to test it again?

Regards,

Multiple connectivity test are successful. I have yet to receive update to this case from HPE :-(...
