How do I monitor CPU and Memory usage with Nagios?

Question

Is there a plugin that does that? If yes, how do I set it up?

I have Nagios on a single server setup (nagios monitoring the box where it's hosted), so I don't need any fancy way of getting that info from the network.

There's a cpu check plugin here, you could browse many plugings in Nagios Exchange website, or in Icinga Exchange website. Why you don't use cacti for such things, or may be Munin that will permit you easily to monitor the performance of your computers, networks, cpu, memory, file system ...

I guess you wanted to say cacti; nagios sends alerts when some conditions are met
