So I've decided to give Nagios a shot. However, does anyone know if
Nagios is required to be installed on every machine that you want to
monitor? I know for things like pinging and testing httpd etc., it can
be done remotely. But what about something like disk space or CPU
usage? Is there a way to test system resources remotely with Nagios?

Thanks,
Grant
