 Currently, this module does not install or configure any web UIs for Icinga 2. This module also does not install or configure a mail transfer agent (MTA) to send outgoing alert emails.
 
-While NRPE is required for Icinga 2 to check non-network-reachble things on client machines (CPU, load average, etc.), this module itself doesn't have any dependencies between the server component (the `icinga2::server` class) and client component (the `icinga2::client` class). Either one can be used independently of the other.

+**Note:** If you will be installing NRPE or the Nagios plugins packages with the `icinga2::client` class on a node that also has the `icinga2::server` class applied, be sure to set the `$server_install_nagios_plugins` parameter in your call to `icinga2::server` to `false`:

+#Install Icinga 2:
+class { 'icinga2::server':

+This will stop the `icinga2::server` class from trying to install the plugins pacakges, since the `icinga2::client` class will already be installing them and will prevent a resulting duplicate resource error.

 ####Client usage
 
 To install NRPE and allow the local machine and Icinga 2 servers (or Icinga 1 or plain old Nagios servers) with various IP addresess to connect:
 
 <pre>
-class { 'icinga2::client':
+class { 'icinga2::nrpe':
   nrpe_allowed_hosts => ['10.0.1.79', '10.0.1.80', '10.0.1.85', '127.0.0.1'],
