+# Overview
+
+NRDP (**N**agios **R**emote **D**ata **P**rocessor) is a simple, PHP-based passive result collector for use with Nagios.  It is designed to be a flexible data transport mechanism and processor, with a simple and powerful architecture that allows for it to be easily extended and customized to fit individual users' needs.
+
+By default, NRDP has the capability of allowing remote agents, applications, and Nagios instances to submit commands and host and service check results to a Nagios server.  This allows Nagios administrators to use NRDP to configure distributed monitoring, passive checks, and remote control of their Nagios instance in a quick and efficient manner.  The capabilities for NRDP can be extended through the development of additional NRDP plugins.
