Is there a list of the pro/s and con/s of NRPE vs. SNMP when using icinga?
I have no idea what’s the best way to handle the returned data of plugins back to my icinga monitoring machine.
Usage of SSH as connection is no option for me.
Answer
I see no where that Icinga or Nagios use snmp to handle returned data of plugins. Icinga use nrpe and you don’t need a ssh connection, nrpe bind a socket that listen on port 5666, so you have only to open tcp connection on that port.
