May I suggest a much easier road: use SNMP.

I have written some testers, that are available for download from the
BigSister site.

Using SNMP also has the great feature that it works remotely, i.e. you
don't need to install any BigSister agents.
I have a setup where I have one BigSister server that monitors some
75 servers (Linux, Solaris, Windows) and another 50 network devices
(mostly Cisco).
No agents are installed anywhere, and I don't feel that I am missing
anything. And I have one central configuration only to maintain!
