Trying to understand check_by_ssh

[Noel Carroll]

Guys,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do some monitoring on some 
remote hosts. I really haven't gotten my head around all this stuff yet. 
I need to monitor stuff like disk, memory, processes, cpu load, etc. I 
see plugins that do all this great stuff for me. I have a user that has 
access to all of these machines along with his NFS mounted home area. 
Should I try to use check_by_ssh as that user and have a copy of the 
plugin scripts in the user's home area?

My boss wants me to avoid things like nrpe because it's another daemon 
we would have to install and script up for our deployment. It would be 
easiest for us if we could do the above.

If anyone can kick me in the right direction or send me some links I 
would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Noel Carroll
