You have choices:
check_snmp
check_by_ssh
nrpe
several others I do not remember off-hand
Are you looking for load or time since last reboot? Install check_load
remotely if that's what you need, or read load from snmp.
If time since last reboot, I suspect there might be something in contrib
of in the plugin dropoff at sourceforge.
