[gentoo-user] nagios remote host

[Joseph]

Is there any easy documentation how to configure nagios on Gentoo to monitor remote host?
The documntation below is out of date:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nagios-guide.xml

I have emerged "nrpe" and started on both server and client, is it correct? 

On the server I have created directory:
/etc/nagios/objects
does this directory have to have ownership "nagios:nagios" ?

Inside this directory I have have created files: 

nrpe-command.cfg
define command {
   command_name check_nrpe
   command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}

nrpe-hosts.cfg
define host {
   use linux-server
   host_name clinic-atom
   alias Gentoo Linux Web Server
   address 192.168.141.1
}

nrpe-services.cfg
define service {
   use generic-service
   host_name clinic-atom
   service_description Current Load
   check_command check_nrpe!check_load
}

define service {
   use generic-service
   host_name clinic-atom
   service_description Root Partition
   check_command check_nrpe!check_disk
}

On the client I just emerge nrpe and started it. Why isn't it working?

You have to configure nrpe on the remote host you want to monitor.

E.g. you want to execute check_load on the remote host - to get this
working, you have to tell the nrpe server that "check_load" means.
In a normal environment, the check name is the only parameter you can
pass to a remote nrpe plugin for security reasons.
