Windows system events

[Polifemo, Salvatore]

Either use SNMP or WMI.  SNMP Is great if the MIB supplies the information you are looking for, WMI has to run on a windows machine and you need to learn the scripting language.

We have standardized on NSClient++ ( included in the standard server build process ) and have not had any issues.
