You'll need to follow this document (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ng_SSH.pdf) and setup a SSH key between the Nagios server, and the host you're looking to monitor.

From there, the nagios user on the remote machine will need read privledges for any folders you're looking to monitor.
