Easiest options are either:

1) run NRPE on the remote box, and have the main Nagios machine 
communicate with the remote NRPE daemon (using the check_nrpe plugin) to 
perform a disk usage check, or

2) same as #1, but using SSH instead of NRPE (using the check_by_ssh plugin)

You can check the --help for both of those plugins for more info, and 
there's also a whole document about NRPE up at the Nagios web site.

Many network devices will have SNMP running already, for some
(especially 
nat-in-a-box devices) it's the only way. Many corporations will prefer 
monitoring systems use SNMP to their own agents.

Using SNMP and Nagios, you could run the following plugin
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2045.htm
l;d=1

(We've made a few additions)
http://195.50.87.86/check_hd.txt

However as Jim has said, getting a good book on nagios (like the
Wolfgang 
book) is a good start if you don't understand now the nagios system
works, 
once you understand the basics, you can add in plugins from
monitoringexchange.

I highly recommend the book "Nagios System and Network Monitoring" by
Wolfgang Barth http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

It will probably save you a lot of time if you want quickly to
understand how to use Nagios.

Bear in mind the 2nd edition of this book covers Nagios version 3 and
there are some differences.  Even so, I think you would benefit most
by buying the 2nd edition of the book rather than the first edition
which describes Nagios 2.

hth,

Jim

nrpe is a small agent that is installed on remote server.  The main nagios 
process makes requests to nrpe to collect remote stats.

hi, all

I found (google) lots of crypt information on how to query remote hosts
about disk usage but none I can understand :(

also, there are no search engine for previouos posts on the subject in
older lists, so:

can anyone point me WHERE can I found a non-cryptographic information
on "how to get info on disk usage on remote hosts"?

Nagios 2.12 on FreeBSD 7.2

TIA
