I do differentiate between "not difficult" and "not taking up a lot of time" - the latter being almost impossible if it's not simply fixing a spelling mistake. Maybe adding an extra condition to an if statement still falls under that too.
That said, I'd love to get decent stats (available through WMI mostly) out of Windows machines - if check_mk can help us in the same way as on *nix, that's great.
Now, I doubt any of the core devs will have time/motivation to implement this, so whoever wants it can give it a go and we'll check out the patch - otherwise sponsored development is also available, but in any case, don't let the idea go to waste solely in a mailing list post, but open a feature request on the bug tracker as well.
Thanks, Tom

Whenever I see "so very easy to implement." on an open-source project mailing list, my first thought is always, "well, why didn't you just implement it then?"
:) I mean this as kindly as possible, but if it truly were "very easy" you would have done it already and submitted a patch.
If you don't have the capability to implement it, then I would suggest that you probably also don't have the skill set required to evaluate it's difficulty.

P.S. I work for a company with an open-source product, and we get feature requests like this that are "trivial" and "very-easy" all the time.

there also be coming support for windows agent? This is not much different then the unix agent, so very easy to implement. http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_windows.html Cheers… _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium-- Marc Runkel VP, Technical Operations Untangle, Inc.
