How to check remote server load average using Icinga2

In Icinga2 there is a script in nagios plugins folder called check_load which gives the result for host OS. When I call the script with -h it reports:

check_load v2.1.1 (monitoring-plugins 2.1.1)
Copyright (c) 1999 Felipe Gustavo de Almeida <galmeida@linux.ime.usp.br>
Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Monitoring Plugins Development Team
 <devel@monitoring-plugins.org>

This plugin tests the current system load average.

Usage:
check_load [-r] -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15

Options:
 -h, --help
 Print detailed help screen
 -V, --version
 Print version information
 --extra-opts=[section][@file]
 Read options from an ini file. See
 https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
 for usage and examples.
 -w, --warning=WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15
 Exit with WARNING status if load average exceeds WLOADn
 -c, --critical=CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15
 Exit with CRITICAL status if load average exceed CLOADn
 the load average format is the same used by "uptime" and "w"
 -r, --percpu
 Divide the load averages by the number of CPUs (when possible)

Send email to help@monitoring-plugins.org if you have questions regarding
use of this software. To submit patches or suggest improvements, send email
to devel@monitoring-plugins.org

As it appears there is not parameter to pass as host address.

The question is how should I get the load average (1m, 5m, 15m) of remote servers?

You have to run Icinga on remote servers and then let those icinga instances report to the master server. Alternatively you can use "passive checks" as a starting point for your search. The hostname which to report to is then specified in the main icinga config.

you can use the nagios nrpe server/client to query the remote host

on server side (remote host):
in /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/default.cfg

add a line like this

command[system_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -r -w 100,20,30 -c 100,40,50

the query from icinga is

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H HOSTNAME -c system_load -t 30
