Ability to call plugins

[marcelopetersen]

It's a very common situation where is required collect details about the server and not only performance counters. For example:

• how many websites exists in IIS
• amount of used and free space on each physical disks.
• installed applications
  I think if the service allows the usage of plugins and execute wmi queries would be good.
  Probably, this is related to Machine metrics #28

Yes, it sounds like #28, and like a good idea! :)

Now I have a case where I want to know what use account is running a process. I am trying to monitor IIS processes and the name of the user (app-pool) is more usefull than knowing that it is a IIS process.

This might be somehow related with the "plugin" idea, prehaps.
