Can you point me in the right direction - what docs should I read to be able to set that up?

These are some starting places:
https://docs.nsclient.org/0.4.4/tutorial/nagios/
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... e/NRPE.pdf <-- Says it's for Unix/Linux clients. True but in this particular case NSClient is masquerading as such.

One thing to be aware of is NSClient is a 3rd party plugin. We do try to help as best we can with it, but we do not write or maintain it.
