Is it possible to setup a custom SSH command line or at least add my own parameters to the SSH command that is used to monitor servers via SSH?  I basically need to execute SSH to an internal server via a bastion host to monitor the servers on the internal network ... poor man's VPN really.

It might be easier to setup a local script that does a putty tunnel, then
you would only have to change the port config on zenoss to do ssh
monitoring!

how about using 'sshpass' in a local COMMAND datasource (running either locally or itself via ssh), something like:

sshpass -p ${dev/zCommandPassword} ssh -q -T -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@${dev/manageIp} 'service snmpd restart'
