title: how to monitor a remote ubuntu host without nrpe from a nagios server
body: <p>I have an nix based host to monitor from a remote nagios server.but i dont want to install nrpe plugin on the  monitored machine.Is it possible? and how to configure the monitored machine, and remote nagios server for this.
  <p>See the apps i have on the remote client are all java based ,so I just thought we could use jmx agent only for applications like cassandra,elasticsearch,tomcat etc.
  So could you tell me if its possible with nrpe agent on remote client.</p>
