I'm also curious about this. I've got 400+ servers and plenty of other SNMP devices out in the wild at different sites, some of which we control the network and firewalls, most of which we don't. I'd like to monitor all of our devices regardless of the network configuration that our devices are attached to. We're currently using Big Brother in production and installing the Big Brother agent/gui on each server. This works well, but we're looking for a "grown up" interface and Zenoss fits the bill perfectly. I'm running the latest pre-compiled RPM for EL5 (CentOS) and everything is working great on our test box on the internal network. I can monitor Windows based servers, Linux based servers and routers, etc... I can also monitor remote servers behind those routers/firewalls that I can modify to let WMI traffic through (not secure, I know.)
My question is, can I use the ZenWin agent on the remote server and have it proxy the information out from the client site into our Zenoss server or would an attempt at that be fruitless? Is a native agent in the works? Is it even a twinkle in some genius developers eye right now? If there was an Agent that could do all of the WMI stuff, I could really see great things happening. I know that there are quite a few users out there that monitor things that are beyond direct network access. If there is anything out there that can do this, whether it's alpha, beta or release code, I'm willing to try it out.
