If you have specific questions about particular agents, I would suggest starting new forum threads for those questions. With that said, onward...

NCPA will do both: https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/archive.php
NRPE will also do both, sorta: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... or/details
NRPE needs some help on the Windows side. NRPE can run on anything where you can compile it which means the documentation is long, but you don't necessarily need everything in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... utions.pdf

Nagios can use SNMP or WMI. For security purposes, these still need to be turned on on both Linux (no WMI here) and Windows (both options here). Some people refer to these as agentless, even though there is still a process running on the remote host.
