Question about Nagios 3.4.1 and NSCA

Hello Guys.
I've earlier used Nagios a lot - but after a few years - many thing have changed - but here I ask :-)

I would like to build up a monitoring system using Nagios. I've chosen to build the system upon Raspberry - Since they are lowpowered etc.
After downloading Raspbian(debian for Raspberry) I'm using the officiel Repos to download the packages.
I've almost get everything up and running, but should use NSCA for disturbed monitoring.
But I cannot seem got find a guide howto get all my servicechecks and hosts check send directly to my Main Nagios Server.
As far as I can see - it only possible to make it while it changing its state. But I would like to have the results directly on my mainserver - so I can see the results on the mainserver.

So how do I configure my NSCA-CLIENT to send all check results to the mainserver ?
Can anyone help me here !

Thanks in advance
Per

What type of hosts are you sending results from? linux? windows? other?
Many people write a handful of scripts to run the checks and then send them with send_nsca. This will ensure that every check is forwarded to the nagios server.
