For example if you need to tune more precisely the check_disk1 on the remote host, you'll need to update the nrpe.cfg on the remote, and we don't have a quick idea of what parameters are. So may be getting parameters on the nagios server may be a good idea. Any way, I've done like the samples, I mean use a specific function on my remote server to check my services. Note that I've take a look on the FAQ, and there discover the ssh plugin, and I was thinking on using this, but may be on another step. The needs where: HOW could I get results from remote command execution on servers. And the NRPE Addon is A solution.

Allowing unauthenticated users to execute plugins with arbitrary arguments on remote systems is probably not a good idea. In order to make it safer, I'd have to add encryption and some means of authentication/authorization. Seems better to just use check_by_ssh if you really need that functionality.
