NRPE

Overview

The NRPE Check type checks your system via the Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE). Circonus will pull the metrics from the specified NRPE enabled host.

This allows you to remotely monitor machine metrics (disk usage, CPU load, etc.). NRPE can also communicate with some of the Nagios Windows agent addons, so you can execute scripts and check metrics on remote Windows machines as well.
