NCPA has its own API for basic checks such as cpu, memory and others that you can view them here https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help/3.x/ap ... s-standardYoPlay or in your NCPA instance's web interface at https://your_ncpa_machine's_ip:5693/gui/api

If you want to use classic Nagios plugins like check_load, you’ll need to place them in NCPA’s plugin directory — typically /usr/local/ncpa/plugins/. NCPA doesn’t care where they came from (e.g. /usr/local/nagios/libexec), as long as they’re executable and located in the right folder.

After that, you can trigger them using the /api/plugins endpoint.
