About this Video:

This video covers SSH local forwarding so you can view monit's web dashboard through an SSH tunnel to your server (for security reasons, the web dashboard is only visible *from* the monitored server we set up).

You can use this same SSH feature (local forwarding) to access services that are hidden from the public Internet by a firewall, local network, etc. If you can get to a server with SSH, you can 'see from its perspective' on your local machine, by mapping individual ports on the server to your local machine.

Enjoy!
