Are there instructions on how one might set this up?
I have nrpe installed on my test box already
I guess I need to create a command then a service, but i am walking in new territory for this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to use the nrpe command in XI, but customize the args for your check:

Afterwards, you will need to add the command to the remote host's nrpe.cfg and restart nrpe. Use the docs below for troubleshooting:

the problem is i do not know what kind of arguments to put in, nor can i figure out how to run the plug in on the remote server and send the results back to nagios.
I was hoping someone had set this up and would give me some guidence.

Thank you,

The documents abrist listed should outline the vast majority of setup and errors that you may contain. I would highly suggest giving them a shot. Try to define an nrpe command on the remote system, then try to get the check_nrpe plugin to call that command from your nagios system via the command line. Once you get that setup, you can take the cli command you ran, and create a nagios command which can finally be applied to your service(s).

It is up and working,

Sounds good, are we okay to lock this up then?
