There are worse options, but I suggest you read http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/About where the author, Michael Medin says, amongst other things, "As for checking with NSClient++, I would recommend NRPE as it is a lot more flexible than check_nt." > Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested... There isn't any substitute for trying some of these solutions for yourself and finding out what the pros & cons are. Personally, I use NSClient++ with mostly nrpe checks but also some check_nt checks. On occasion I also use the nsca functionality with NSClient++ to do passive checks. I've also used a standalone send_nsca (sorry can't remember which) to return results from backup scripts and suchlike to Nagios. If you decide to try nc_net, make sure you download and compile their alternative check_nt which has much better support for performance data and a few other neat features not available in the default check_nt plugin.
