Just to let you know, SNMP Informant IS a Performance Counter (perfmon) Agent. It simply uses its own (supported) DLL to get them, and not the unsupported M$ perfmib.dll.
And yes, the MIB OIDs are "locked down" in the sense that now they are fixed (unlike MS where the OIDs would change depending on who ran perf2mib to extract the counters. BUT, this is likely better since you now no longer have to worry about changing OIDs. There is a technical description of the product on the Overview page on the SNMP Informant site, and I will answer all product queries on the SNMP Informant forum (accessible from the Support Page on www.snmp- informant.com.
