-'''TODO'''
+The main thing in NSClient++ is to load the CheckSystem module but we also need NRPEListener to be able to call this (via check_nrpe) from Nagios and in addition to this the FileLogger is a nice way to see if things go wrong.

+CheckSystem.dll
+NRPEListener.dll
+FileLogger.dll

+Then we have two options:
+ 1, Use CheckExternalSripts alias function to define the command locally
+ 2, Enable allow arguments for the NRPEListener module.
+I will in this example use the allow_arguments options since it is simpler.
+To enable this find the NRPE section and change it to 1 like so:
+{{{
+[NRPE]
+allow_arguments=1
+; here you will probably have more settings 
+}}}
