We actually don't use any of the information check_mk itself returns, we just use it as a vehicle to piggy-back our own data. We'll likely fork it and remove the parts we don't use for performance (also so we don't clog up people's check_mk installs with our scripts).

I've never used the windows agent, but I understand it's *very* different, it's compiled C. It's unlikely we'll support it any time soon, and especially unlikely as I have no need of it :)

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.

Now there is coming more and more support for the unix agent in Observium, I was wondering will

there also be coming support for windows agent? This is not much different then the unix agent, so very easy to implement.
