If the target is running SNMP then it will provide Zenoss with this
information, and more, when probed. If it's not running SNMP, or some
other agent that can provide info, there's no way for Zenoss -- or
anything else -- to determine this kind of info.

So if you have SNMP running on all your systems, and allow read-access
to your zenoss server, you should get good info.  This isn't as unlikely
as you might think: snmp is available, sometimes installed and running,
frequently with default "public" community acess on many systems.
