Nagios push agent instead of pull?

I've been googling for a way to use a nagios agent to push statistics instead of having the server pull them. Is there such a concept for nagios xi? We have ephemeral servers that come up on a software defined network that nagios will not be able to get into, but the server itself will be able to reach the nagios server. Any advice is appreciated.

That would be a Passive ("push") check, as opposed to an Active ("pull") check. We have a few different ways to do this, and this doc should get you started:

Thanks for the docs, will try that and hopefully it'll work for us.
