WSMAN Support

Hi Observium Devs,

if you agree i would like to request / contribute WSMAN Supoort for Observium. This will lead to better integration of Windows and VMware Products in the Monitoring as it will enable Observium to discover and poll several assets in a stable manner that would not be possible with SNMP. The Users would not need to have Agents installed as WSMAN Providers are shipped with Windows / ESXi and Mayor OEM Baseboard-Controllers.

Possible use for Windows-Products:

Complete Interface Data as with SNMP
IPv4 Routing Data
IPv6 Routing Data
Windows Version
Installed Patches/Hotfixes
Installed Apllications
MS DNS Server Metrics
MS DHCP Server Metrics
MS Exchange Metrics
MS IIS Server Metrics
MS Terminal Server Metrics
List of Services (running/stopped)
List of Processes
Number of Processes
CPU Usage
Memory Usage
Pagefile Usage
Uptime
Storage Metrics
Hardware Inventory

Possible use for Baseboard Controllers like Dell iDrac oder HP iLO:
Complete Interface Data as with SNMP
Hardware Inventory
Firmware Versions
Storage Metrics
Power Metrics
Fan Metrics
Temp Metrics

Possbile use for VMware ESXi:
Complete Interface Data as with SNMP
IPv4 Routing Data
IPv6 Routing Data
Hardware Inventory
Firmware Versions
Storage Metrics
Power Metrics
Fan Metrics
Temp Metrics
Guest Metrics

Much much more to come.... as WSMAN will succeed SNMP someday

I would love to take Part in the Observium Project. I am able to Code lots of this by myself, i would just need some introduction in the internal workings of your Discovery / Poller Subsystem.

I know this means a lot of work as Definitions have to be added, new Graphs, new Sensors, new Tabs in the Webinterface, and a lot of Documentation. But i volunteer to do this for the Observium Project.
As i am employed at the moment i will only be able to code this in my spare time.

The best thing, i won´t charge you for this

Kind regards,

Sascha Schaal
