NSClient++
NSClient++ is a windows service that allows performance metrics to be gathered by Nagios (and possibly other monitoring tools). It is an attempt to create a NSClient and NRPE compatible but yet extendable performance service for windows.
Using NSClient++ with nagios

NSClient++ supports several transports and you can use either one or several of these or you can create your own cusom transport. Transports are methods which facilitates communication between Nagios and your server. You can look at this much like for instance HTTP (which you are using now) and FTP. They both support transferring files but they have slightly different approaches so things work differently but the end result is the same. A file gets transfered. In our case the end result is that a monitoring result gets submitted to Nagios.
