Master list of check_nt variables

[Damien Manuel]

Greetings,

The best way to make a list is to use ctrlist.exe from the M$ resource
kit. When you run this on a server it will produce a list of counters
that can be queried. Note, that the counter name varies based on version
of M$ platform and software installed. If you want to find services to
query on M$ platforms use the free tool called Typhon.

I have listed some examples below:

# 'check_exch55_Out_queue' command definition
define command{
        command_name    Exch55_Out_Queue
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIMC\Queued Outbound","%.f
Messages in Queue" -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
        }

# 'check_exch55_In' command definition
define command{
        command_name    Exch55_In_Queue
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIMC\Queued Inbound","%.f
Messages in Queue" -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
        }

# 'Active Server Pages Request Total in Bytes' command definition
define command{
        command_name    ASP_Request_Total
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Active Server Pages\Request Bytes In
Total","%.f Bytes" -p 1248
        }

# 'Active Server Pages Total Number of Failed Requests - Includes
Disconnects and Authorisation Failures' command definition
define command{
        command_name    ASP_Requests_Failed_Total
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Active Server Pages\Requests Failed
Total","%.f Failed Requests" -p 1248
        }


# 'Memory - Available MBytes of physical memorys' command definition
define command{
        command_name    Memory_Available
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Memory\Available MBytes","%.f MBytes" -p
1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        }

# 'HTTP - Indexing service' command definition
define command{
        command_name    HTTP_Indexing
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Http Indexing Service","%.f " -p 1248
        }

Other things you can query with check_nt are processes, services
etc...like the ones listed below:

# 'check_nt_disk' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_disk
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v USEDDISKSPACE -p 1248 -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
        }

# 'check_nt_cpuload' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cpuload
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v CPULOAD -p 1248 -l $ARG1$ 
        }

# 'check_nt_uptime' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_uptime
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v U
PTIME -p 1248  
        }

# 'check_nt_process' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_process
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v PROCSTATE -p 1248 -l $ARG1$         }

# 'check_nt_service' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_service
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -p 1248 -l $ARG1$ 
        }

# 'check_nt_memuse' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_memuse
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v MEMUSE -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
                }

# 'check_nt_pagingfile' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_pagingfile
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Paging File(_Total)\\% Usage","Paging
File usage is %.2f %%" -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
        }


# 'check_nt_thread' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_thread
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Process(_Total)\\Thread Count","Thread
Count: %.f" -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
        }

# 'check_nt_session' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_session
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\Server\\Server Sessions","Server
Sessions: %.f" -p 1248 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ 
        }

Subject: [Nagios-users] Master list of check_nt variables

Hi

I have built a few commands using check_nt and was wondering if there
was a
master list or source for all the variables (and their arguments) able
to
retreived using this command, ie. UPTIME, CPULOAD etc, etc?

Regards

James Turnbull
