IMHO, you should also consider SNMP.

<pre wrap="">I believe that looking at the (very) brief doc that comes with Nagios
that NRPE is a server side executor which tells the remote host "go run
this plug-in and pass the result back to me", whereas NCSA executes
itself on the host side and then sends the result to a listening NCSAd
on the monitoring server running Nagios.
So it comes down to active server initiated test or passive client
initiated test.
While NCSA would reduce load slightly (probably not noticeably though I
expect), NRPE would allow for a more centralised way of doing things,
especially since I keep my entire nagios config under svn and like to be
able to redeploy it centrally.
Does anybody have any advice as to which I should go with? What have you
used and what are your experiences of this?

seeing as I've never used snmp (it's on my todo list) I'd need a bit
more of a guideline than that... How would you get check results, what
would you run on the client, what would you run on the server?<br>
