I don't know for this specific application, but there are generally several approaches you can use to tackle your problem. This application can either have a built-in support for monitoring, or not (too many cases sadly ...) You say it does not because there are no OIDs, but have you looked at WMI ? It might define a schema and a bunch of classes. Otherwise, are there any kind of maintenance, or status scripts ? If there are, you can wrap them into a check plugin. If it actually does not have any means of being monitored directly, then you can monitor it indirectly. This means: - looking for the process(es). This can be done with WMI or any simple process monitoring plugin. - looking for open ports, if it does use some (check_tcp) - looking for database accesses if it uses an external DBMS. For instance MS SQL provides counters for the number of connections - simulating web accesses if it provides a web front-end (check_http) - looking for opened files/handles - ... If one of those check is not enough, all of them should give you quite a good overview of the health of the application.
