"distributed Monitoring" and graphs

[Carsten Philipp]

Hello,

i want to monitor about 500 standard user PCs in our network. these
clients should collect cpu, ram, disk,... values the whole day and in
the night the data should be sent to or collected by the nagios-server
to integrate them into RRDs (nagiosgrapher).

But how can i implement this? With nsca and a local nagios installation
or some other tools? The values are only for statistics.
And to check all clients every 5 minutes is not necessary and creates to
much network traffic in my eyes.
And i also have to install and configure nrpe on all computers.

Or should i use the programm called "atsar" on the client to collect the
data and fetch these data with a nagios plugin?

So i dont now how to solve this. What is the efficients way? Does
anybody has an idea?

thanks
Carsten Philipp
