title: How to get Windows Server CPU Metrics remotely from Unix Box?
body: <p>I have a set of of Windows Server  boxes and i am trying to collect metrics ( Cpu utlization ,  Memory , Disk utilizaion ) from those boxes through my Unix system.  I tried using SNMP method , but it seems mind boggling . Not only i have to collect all OIDs for metrics in Windows ( which is very hard to Google and snmpwalk gives you a hell lot of information which is very hard to decipher ) . Is there any other ingenious ways to collect performance metrics from these windows boxes. 
  I did think of an alternative of running my own python scripts and send these metrics to unix boxes , but that seems unlikely for various reasons.  any new method will be appreciated . </p>
