Simple windows client

[Johan Barelds]

Hi all,

I am using Nagios for a while now and i am a true believer.
We do have around 200 window servers in our environment which need to be 
monitored and Nagios does the job quit well.
Unfortunaly it's rather labour and study intensive to get a complete set of 
windows clients/scripts that fullfills ones monitor needs;

Until now i haven't found a windows client which was:

a. an out-of-the-box installation (e.g. msi file) and
b. having a very simple gui in which all the configuration stuff could be done 
in a very intuitive matter and 
c. has all the needed monitor functionality in this one client (like 
eventlogs, perfmon counters, disk/cpu/mem usage etc.) and 
d. produced a single conf file which could be distributed quit easy to simular 
windows servers to prevent manual configuration on each server and
e. has a large installed base so feedback and corrective actions on 
bugs/feature requests is quit good.

Is it an idea to develop such a "general windows client" instead of making a 
lot of smaller programms, scripts by a lot of people, which needs a lot of 
studying/implementing/configuring etc. to get it working?

Unfortunatly i am not a programmer otherwise i would have made it myself..:-)
But it would be nice if there are some programmers around who are interested 
in starting such a project.
I am very curious if i am the only one looking at it this way or if there is 
"a market" for such a new windows client.

Please let me know your thoughts...
