zenwin uses WMI to collect information, which is helpful if you can't
install snmp-informant on all your windows machines.
However, you can get a lot of information for windows machines without
using zenwin, especially if you have snmp-informant installed.
You can monitor processes related to your services (memory, cpu, count).
You can monitor ports that accept connections (80, 8080, etc).
There are nagios pluggins for checking availability at the application
level, like SMTP, HTTP.
I just heard: documentation person starts Friday. That will help.

I have installed zenwin and have added snmp-informant to a number of
Windows server and am graphing what I need to graph. (I don't really
understand the function of the zenwin server though, so I am probably
still not getting full functionality).
Now I would like to monitor the status of particular Windows services
(ie. Cold Fusion, MS SQL, etc.) and be notified if they go down.
Can I do that with the present state of ZenOSS, or is that something
that is 'coming down the pipe'?
I am excited about the product, but am a little frustrated at the lack
of documentation on setting up some basic features such as monitoring
particular oids, monitoring windows services, and monitoring linux
processes.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
