Could someone explain to me what the benefits are, if any, of using SNMP to 
monitor hosts rather than WMI/SSH?

I am beginning to experiment with Zenoss, and I have most of my hosts as being 
accessible via WMI/SSH, but would have to go through a lot of trouble to get 
SNMP configured on all of them.  Is there any reason I should need it?

Also, is there a way for Zenoss to monitor Linux service availability out of 
the box without going to Nagios plugins?  By service monitoring, I don't mean 
IP services.  I mean like checking the services running within the OS (crond 
for example).  

Thanks
