nsca documentation

[Dominik L. Borkowski]

Hi,
I've been looking through the documentation and the archives for this mailing 
list, yet I'm still very confused: how does one use nsca?

I have currently an 80+ host nagios setup, with one central server, and nrpe 
for active checks. The concept behind it is quite simple, and well 
documented: server sends out a request to the host, which runs only nrpe and 
given plugins. However, what does one use on the remote host with nsca? Do I 
have to write a shell script to run all the plugins I need, parse them, and 
pipe the output to send_nsca plugin, which in turn will send things to the 
nsca daemon on the nagios server? Or do I need nagios running on each host? 

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. This is really driving me nuts :)

sincerely,
dom
