Two common options are:
1- run an Icinga2 “agent” on the node itself. It’s actually what you can find
as “client” in Icinga2 documentation, take a look at the “Master with Clients”
scenario under “Distributed Monitoring”:
https://docs.icinga.com/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/distributed-monitoring#distributed-monitoring-master-clients
This has some benefits and you can choose between a command-endpoint or config
sync. Either way the Icinga2 client would run your check locally on the node
(eg. it will directly call check_smart or whatever) and send results back to
the master
2- run another kind of remote executor on your node, like NRPE or through SSH.
The master would schedule the check and use NRPE or SSH or whatever to contact
the node, trigger the check execution on the node and get results back. You can
find a better explanation with more details and examples in the docs under
“Additional agent-based checks”:
https://docs.icinga.com/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/agent-based-checks-addon
One of those should let you run the plugin on the node and get the results on
your Icinga2 server / master: I hope this answers your question.
