Mike, I actually strongly agree with you, however once Icinga will be in a need to actually create their own 0-config agent this might be an option. I will have to approacht his solution, because we have way too heterogeneous infrastructure to deal with every individual platform separately, however every platform runs JVM so I will create simple shell script which will invoke sigar.jar and query necessary information from SIGAR libs.
SIGAR Is licensed under GNU/GPL http://support.hyperic.com/display/SIGAR/Home#Home-license Does anyone have any up-to-date information or experience using NRPE under HP-UX?
