NRPE vs. check_by_ssh

[Christopher McAtackney]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could give a brief overview of the pros /
cons of using NRPE to monitor my remote hosts versus using the
check_by_ssh command?

I'm aware that check_by_ssh increases the CPU overhead, but I'm not
clear on the level of impact here - does this increase the load on the
monitoring machine in direction relation to the number of hosts being
monitored? For example, if I was using check_by_ssh to monitor, say,
2000 services spread across 200 hosts, would I experience significant
slowdown on my monitoring machine?

Cheers for any info,

Chris
