On each client you want to monitor via check_mk, you have to install the check_mk agent that is executed via (x)inetd.

If i got all well , /etc/check_mk is in the nagios monitoring server ? But now if i go to my server i don't have the /etc/check_mk folder to create the mrpe.cfg, where do i create my mrpe.cfg file in the myserverip ?
On the nagios host, where you installed check_mk, you have /etc/check_mk (were main.mk and others files are located). If you run checks on the nagios host via MRPE, you have just to create the mrpe.cfg file. On clients that have just the check_mk agent, you have to create this folder and the mrpe.cfg file by yourself.
Thre is an asterisk plugin already on myserverip ,i wanted to use that one, is there any easier to monitor Asterisk using check_mk ?
Depending on the plugin you have, you have to decite from where it has to be executed. If it's a plugin that checks something local (like processes, existence of files,...) you have to put it on the client.
If it's something that does a remote check (like checking if a port is open or a webpage can be reached,...) the plugin is executed from the nagios host, because you want to check if the service is available over network. Of course you can execute remote checks on other hosts too (e. g. if you want to check if a MySQL login is possible from host A to host B, you put the plugin to Host A and execute it via MRPE).
For other asterisk plugins see nagios plugin pages like http://nagiosplugins.org/ Regards, Marc -- Marc Muehlfeld (IT-Leiter) Zentrum fuer Humangenetik und Laboratoriumsmedizin Dr. Klein und Dr. Rost Lochhamer Str. 29 - D-82152 Martinsried Telefon: +49(0)89/895578-0 - Fax: +49(0)89/895578-78 http://www.medizinische-genetik.de
