I am looking for an agentless software solution for collecting metrics from Windows servers. The metrics can be gathered by a central monitoring server but I do not want to install an agent on each Windows server. We would like a software tool that can do predictive trends and model the metrics so the Windows servers can be migrated to a virtual environment. Does Zabbix provide 1. agentless monitoring, 2. a central collection server and 3. can the analysis be done over the web?

Query through SNMP ? But SNMP is some king of agent anyway ...
In a simple, non-distributed setup, zabbix indeed is centralised: zabbix_server collects metrics from remote hosts/appliances through SNMP or zabbix_agent, and checks availability through remote checks (TCP, ICMP responses...). zabbix_server can also wait for information that would be send using the zabbix_sender command line utility.
