Clarify the relation to nagios

(Haven tried it out, but looks promising)
Could you clarify the relation to nagios infrastructure a bit. It looks like this has parts of nrpe (the actual gathering of the data) and the nagios server (control when to run).
There's a detailed description of the architecture here: https://www.elastic.co/blog/a-case-for-self-monitoring-systems
The relation is that Nagios Core is not required, and that nagioscheckbeat simply uses standard Nagios plugins to gather metrics and pump them into Logstash / Elasticsearch. As discussed here, Nagios core can be used for Alerting and Dashboarding, but it's not required.
@PhaedrusTheGreek i completely missed the blog post, it's making things very clear (maybe add the url to the README?)
this looks very very useful.
