NSClient++ offers a uniform mechanism for querying system information. Basic system information can be retrieved using the check_nt command from a standard Nagios plugins package.
The syntax and options of the command is as follows:
check_nt -H <host> [-p <port>] [-P <password>] [-w level] [-c level]
-v <variable> -l <arguments>
