if your machines are Linux, you could also leverage check_by_ssh with keys, too.

This is absolutely true. I mentioned NRPE rather than generic agents to be more concrete. You could also use NCPA...or even NSClient.

They all have their pluses and minuses. I definitely don't see any point in using NSClient on Linux though. check_by_ssh will be the most secure, but will also mean the most load.
