Nagios plugin that uses Nmap and does port checking

nagiosnetworkingnmapnrpe

I need to monitor open and closed ports on dozens of hosts. I've found a Nagios plugin that does what I need, but I would have to use this script through NRPE.

Some of the hosts are powered by Linux and they all have Perl installed. But some of them are Windows machines, and it's not convenient for me to install Perl on every one of them. That's why I can not use this plugin.

I hope that there's Nagios plugin that uses Nmap, or something similar, so it could check ports on every host remotely, without installing plugins on remote hosts, only on the server.

This guy has developed a nagios script for linux that does exactly what you are asking:
