Hi, we need to include checks Nagios for monitoring MySQL service, Apache service, etc .. to a remote machine (these services are located in /etc/init.d). How can I implemente it without using the agent NRPE? thanks

The solutions that stand out in my mind are

check_by_ssh
check_snmp
check_nrpe using nscp daemon

or just do check_http and/or check_mysql as remote checks from the Nagios host - this would be the most complete solution anyway.

What is it about NRPE that you don't like?
