I expect this is one of the main things Zenoss Inc is selling and they aren't going to help you get it working in the free versions...

Doesn't this capability/feature exist already in the Enterprise version? I've been told that direct monitoring of metrics via WMI is possible instead of having to use SNMP... if that could be clarified, that'd be great.

Thanks,

Normally building a collector plugin only involves writing the plugin. However, since we don't have a collector client that uses WMI as the transport yet you would also have to build this part. It is definitely not a trivial task.

I'd recommend taking a look at the $ZENHOME/Products/DataCollector/CollectorClient.py file. You will need to subclass this to build your "WmiClient" much the same way that the current TelnetClient does. Once this is done you can get an idea of how the plugins interact with the client by looking at the command based plugins under DataCollector/plugins/zenoss/cmd/.
