I'd like to monitor a SSH server running on a port other than the default SSH port. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Extract of bb-hosts(5) man page:

... SIMPLE NETWORK TESTS These tests perform a simple network test of a service by connecting to the port and possibly checking that a banner is shown by the server.

  How these tests operate are configured in the bb-services(5)
  configuration file, which controls which port to use for the

  check for a response from the service etc.

  You can modify the behaviour of these tests  on  a  per-test
  basis  by  adding one or more modifiers to the test: :NUMBER
  changes the port number from the  default  to  the  one  you
  specify  for  this  test.   E.g. to test ssh running on port
  8022, specify the test as ssh:8022.

Alternatively, and assuming you SSH server is running as a daemon, you can also check it locally (on the client) using PROC or PORT directive in hobbit-clients.cfg. see hobbit-clients.cfg(5) man page for examples.
