Take a look at the plugin developers guidelines on the nagiosplug=20
homepage.

If you are going to execute it on a remote system, are you using NRPE as =
a=20
conduit between the monitoring host and the target?  If so, you need an=20
entry for the plugin and all its parameters in nrpe.cfg.

On the netsaint side, you need an entry for check_nrpe in commands.cfg=20
(should be there already) and an entry in hosts.cfg for a service check=20
using check_nrpe with arg=3Dplugin name defined in nrpe.cfg

Hope this helps.
