NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor, used to remotely execute Nagios plugins.

NRPE allows you to remotely execute Nagios plugins on other Linux/Unix machines. This allows you to monitor remote machine metrics (disk usage, CPU load, etc.). NRPE can also communicate with some of the Windows agent addons, so you can execute scripts and check metrics on remote Windows machines as well.

What Nagios plugin to use for monitoring MySQL?

I have just tried check_mysqld that I found on monitoringexchange.org, but it turned out that it outputs in a format that either NRPE 2.12 or Nagios 3.2.1 doesn't understand. Can anyone recommend a check plugin for Nagios 3 that works with NRPE?
