<DIV>Hey all, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm just about to start trying to use the NRPE agent for monitoring some remote</DIV>
<DIV>servers (Linux right now and maybe Windows in the future), but I'm just not clear on </DIV>
<DIV>how it works. Does the NRPE Agent run on the remote server and then executes </DIV>
<DIV>plug ins on that remote server, while the Nagios server connects to the remote server </DIV>
<DIV>and gets the results? Or I guess, I just want to know exactly what has to be installed </DIV>
<DIV>where for me to be able to use the NRPE agent. </DIV>
<DIV>i.e. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) NRPE Agent gets installed on the remote server </DIV>
<DIV>2) <Something else gets installed on the nagios server> </DIV>
<DIV>3) <It gets configured here></DIV>
<DIV>4) Restart the Nagios process and it's done. </DIV>
<DIV>etc...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just something like that is really what is needed, the configuration details I'm sure </DIV>
<DIV>I could figure out. It's just unclear as to what goes where in order for this to work. I'd be </DIV>
<DIV>happy if someone could just point me to a decent how-to also, thanks in advace.</DIV>
