[HOWTO] Fetching WMI data from Linux

In case it's of use, here's a small python wrapper script to get a Dictionary of data back. Might make it easy for someone to write more plugins/queries based on it.

I have a few more that I need to post as well, these are again Perl based as they are based on some templates James Dastrup did for Zenoss.

I've added some pictures of the cpu and memory graphs. I still have some Disk IO and other bits to finalize then I'll post the templates and the script.

I favor Python myself and after the templates I am working on now are done, I'll be using your wrapper for future WMI templates, nice work.

Good question, actually yes they are finished apart from terminal server sessions. Now is a good a time as any to do that graph, I'll upload the lot in about an hour.
