your guess is correct. if you have to monitor a network of windows
machines, its hard to beat doing it with wmi. unfortunately, you cant
query wmi directly from *nix (as far as i know), but you can run an nrpe
service on one of your windows machines and "proxy" the checks through
that machine. you only need the check_nrpe plugin on the *nix side to
do this.
my project is simply a collection of plugins, plus a framework for
simplifying plugin development in c# .net. i started it because i
couldnt find a good replacement for the official nagios plugins for
*nix, and i didnt want just a direct win32 port either, because i wanted
the power of wmi for windows monitoring.
i hope this helps.
