Dear list,

I really need some suggestions/guideline regarding monitoring remote
server by nagios.

I have found three different ways to monitor remote hosts

     1> NRPE
    2> NSCA
    3> check_by_ssh

As I have already read at the manual that  check_by_ssh gives load on
the monitoring machine's CPU
So the other alternative is either NRPE or NSCA. What is the difference
between these two ?
There are some manuals which may have some in depth details on these but
I am locking for a direction/hints
based on which my study will continue.
Any hints/links/suggestion are always welcome.

with best regards,
