You need to use check_nrpe (download NRPE 2.5.2. from the Nagios website) in conjunction with the Nagios standard plugins on each remote host you want to monitor.
Nagios sends the command to execute the plugin to NRPE running on the remote host, NRPE runs it and sends the output back to Nagios. Andy.
