Nagios communication with client

[UnixAdmin]

Hi All,

We are interested in using Nagios, and would like to know how Nagios communicates with clients to run monitoring scripts.

For example, we would write a script that would be run either locally on the Nagios server or optionally on the client. The script would evaluate certain logfiles on the client and provide a return code, statistics or other output. Which protocol (ssh, telnet, snmp....) does Nagios use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
