Only for things that are visible from the network (i.e. web services,  
dns services, pinging the host, etc). If you're wanting to know things  
like disk usage, cpu utilization and things like that, some kind of  
agent is needed whether that be nsclient++, SNMP, WMI, etc...

http://www.nagiosexchange.org is a good resource for WMI and SNMP  
plugins.
