Hello Gerald.K
PandoraFMS software agent is not necessary as long as the information we want to monitor can be obtained through a command that PandoraFMS server can launch. But, if that information is inside a file inside another machine, the thing gets complicated, so I recommend you to install the software agent in the machine you want to monitor. This way you can get all the information of the machine that can be taken out of it by a command, which of course includes what you mention and probably works the solution you proposed.
PandoraFMS software agent doesn't have any difficulty to install itself and it doesn't consume practically any resource of the equipment, reason why it is an incredibly powerful tool.
Greetings
Diego
