Nagios + memory usage + SNMP

[Matthew Jurgens]

If you are checking Windows try check_wmi_plus (it is agentless)
http://www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus

It can do all of that and a lot more which means your monitoring of 
Windows becomes a lot more consistent as you can use a single plugin for 
everything

There is another option to monitrar these services without having to install anything on remote hosts (being in the same network as the server)?
