Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to Nagios and I need to check one of my server's CPU Average Load for the past 5 hours.
I wasnt able to find anything helpful in the Nagios Exchange.
Can anyone help out?
Thanks!

Is this a windows or linux server? Sounds like a good job for NRPE!

NSClient++ supports this on Windows in all version and version 0.4.2 (will once it is released) support this on Linux as well.

In addition to what Michael posted, linux will generally report a 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute average when it reports CPU load. And as slansing said, this is a good candidate for NRPE. Basically NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) is a daemon that runs on your remote server, allowing you to tell it what you want it to run and then report back.
