Yes, but you'll need to run the plugin on the remote machine. Just

guessing, it sounds like you have nagios configured to run it on your

nagios machine only, multiple times. That can be accomplished by

installing the plugin on the machine you want to check and using NRPE or

check-by-ssh from your nagios machine to execute it.

 

An alternative is to use an SNMP check if you have an SNMP daemon

configured/running on the remote hosts.

 

As per other plugin like: check_ping, or check_dns

I did not configure the plugin on the remote machine to execute it.

Will have to check on the net how to use SNMP.

 

THANKS FOR THE HINT
