check_om_storage.pl and nagios question

[AndydnA]

I have used NRPE protocol because is better and lighter than SSH check.
Each machine should run NRPE server daemon (nagios_nrpe_server on  
Debian) and must has on it the check_om_storage plugin.
You can program and perform your check directly from NAGIOS machine  
that operate as client.
This way is the best way if you have a single NAGIOS machine and many  
servers.
For security I perform all my check into our VPN star, but this is not  
required. NAGIOS has a very good security if you don't enable the  
blame function. If you use blame is good also.
