[TriLUG] nagios plugins

[Clay Stuckey]

Kinda figured that. I have nrpe installed but it doesn't seem to be doing
it. The RPM install doesn't quite jive. I am getting farther with the tar.gz
install. The SSL connection doesn't seem to be happening. Does the  custom
plugin sit on the monitoring server or does it need to be copied to all
remotely monitored hosts?

NRPE is what you're looking for.
