Judging from the number of people asking for this around the net and the fact that all the answers seem to point them off to other packages like Big Brother or RMC (docs) or other solutions, there might not be. Maybe somebody here will prove me wrong. Kolay gelsin.
The only other way other than SNMP to get remote information off a system that isn't checking a network based service (ie- HTTP, SMTP, POP, etc) is to use NRPE which means installing the NRPE daemon on the client machine and configuring the checks you want to be able to run locally over NRPE. NRPE uses SSL to communicate between machines over a port, 5666 by default, and can run any Nagios plugin locally on the client and transmit the result back to Nagios as if it had been run on the Nagios server.
