remote disk/load?

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

Yes, those plugins (among others) only work on the 'local' host.  You need a way to install those plugins on the remote host, execute them remotely, then return the relevant data to the Nagios server.

You *could* use check_by_ssh to do the remote execution/retrieval.  Great for a secure way of doing things, but won't scale well in the long run (assuming you have hundreds and hundreds of remote checks to do).

Take a look at NRPE, which is quite popular.  NSCA is another alternative, but not the only one.  Check out the Downloads page on www.nagios.org.
