Ability to call plugins #46

It's a very common situation where is required collect details about the server and not only performance counters. For example:

how many websites exists in IIS
amount of used and free space on each physical disks.
installed applications I think if the service allows the usage of plugins and execute wmi queries would be good. Probably, this is related to https://github.com/poxet/Influx-Capacitor/issues/28

Yes, it sounds like #28, and like a good idea! :)

Now I have a case where I want to know what use account is running a process. I am trying to monitor IIS processes and the name of the user (app-pool) is more usefull than knowing that it is a IIS process.

This might be somehow related with the "plugin" idea, prehaps.
