If I want to set Nagios distribution architecture, can I still use check_by_ssh 
with NSCA server?
eg.
Nagios central server <--> NSCA ---execute ssh--> host 1

in this sense, NSCA will gather information from host 1 using check_by_ssh, and 
send back the collected data to the Nagios central server.

Is this possible? how to setup the monitoring architecture like this?

Links, reference/guides are most welcome.

Thanks
Sam

Hi,

This is the follow up the previous question.
For example, if I want to check disk info in a remote host,
In the NSCA server, I will define the following config:
define command{
        command_name    check_slash_free
        command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -i /var/ssh/nagios-key -l root -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C '$USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p /'
        }Do I only need to install check_disk script/program in the remote host 
without installing nagios and other nagios plugins?

Thanks[
Sam

Hi, 

I am aware that NSCA can uses check_by_ssh to check remote host.
I am wondering if this means I don't have to install NSCA or Nagios plugins in 
remote host?

Thanks
Sam
