+nrpe (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
+
+The NRPE addon is designed to allow you to execute Nagios plugins on
+remote Linux/Unix machines. The main reason for doing this is to allow
+Nagios to monitor "local" resources (like CPU load, memory usage,
+etc.) remote machines. Since these public resources are not usually
+exposed to external machines, an agent like NRPE must be installed on
+the remote Linux/Unix machines.
