Custom Monitoring
Using Windows Services and Counters
You can look at various Monitoring Packs defined in NetCrunch. Any other application can be monitored in a very similar way - if it supports perfmon counters; otherwise, you can rely on monitoring Windows services and processor and memory parameters for specific processes.
Using Scripts and Agents
This is another option for monitoring Windows applications and any other application, including the hosted remote application or even websites.
You can create a script, which will poll necessary information for NetCrunch, or modify the existing application to send REST requests to NetCrunch.
It doesn't involve much programming as you can use cUrl, an open-source project available for almost any platform.
You can find it at http://curl.haxx.se.
