WMI/WQL querying of HP boxes with Insight Manager

[Paul Weaver]

While it's not specifically a nagios question, it's related to plugins. 

After an afternoon of tearing my hair out, I've confirmed that I really
hate windows.

However, after finding a nice little package to query WMI from linux
(wmi-client, it's tied into samba), I had hopes of interrorgating the HP
Insight Manager we have installed on many boxes. 

Unfortunatly I can't find any examples of using WQL to query it, and
while the information I can get out of windows (number of sticks of
physical memory), is great for our cmdb, it's not something I really
want to monitor with nagios. 

Has anyone got any experience with using WMI, specifically in talking to
HP?

(I want to monitor some boxes that I can't install anything on, even
snmp, let alone npre or our own agents)
