Windows Agent - Passive Checks

[Kevin Keane]

I have done exactly that; go to http://www.tntmonitoring.com for more 
information. The idea actually is a bit more comprehensive; rather than 
just writing the agent, I made it a package of agent and a number of 
checks that I found useful; the installer puts it all together. 
Admittedly, though, the documentation leaves something to be desired...

Also, one thing to be aware of is that tntmonitoring wraps the passive 
check results in an HTTPS link (inside the HTTPS wrapper, it's standard 
NSCA). This allows you to send checks securely from remote sites without 
worrying about disclosing information to attackers.

Note: I found a few issues with Windows 7 in a few plugins that I am 
addressing in the next release.
