That's why my response mentioned NRPE.
NRPE is installed on remote machines and allows you to run checks and plugins on the target machine and report the results back to your Nagios instance. Your main Nagios server will actually do check_nrpe - but with arguments directing the remote machine to run check_nagios and then report back the results. -- Sean McAfee Collaborative Fusion, Inc.
