  Description     : A general purpose Nagios-plugin for retrieving data

Check_mk adopts a new a approach for collecting data from operating systems
and network components. It obsoletes NRPE, check_by_ssh, NSClient and
check_snmp. It has many benefits, the most important of which are:

    * Significant reduction of CPU usage on the Nagios host.
    * Automatic inventory of items to be checked on hosts.

The larger your Nagios installation is, the more important get these points.
In fact check_mk enables you to implement a monitoring environment exceeding
20.000 checks/min on the first hand.
