How to get Nagios to monitor Windows NIC Stats

[George P Boutwell]

Hey,

  I'm trying to get Nagios (on Linux) to Monitor Windows NT 4 (a couple) and
Windows 2000 Server (a dozen or so) server's NIC stats.

  I tried with NSClient which is already doing a bang-up job monitoring
several other Performance Counters for us, but the following (for example)
doesn't work:

./check_nt -H 192.168.9.254 -v COUNTER -l "\\Network Interface\\Bytes
Total/sec\\"

  It returns 0, and puts an ITEM_NOT_VALID error in the Event Log.

  Anyone else using Nagios to monitor Windows Bandwidth/NIC stats?

Specifically we'd like to monitor:

 Current Bandwidth
 Total Bytes/sec
 Total Bytes Sent/sec
 Total Bytes Received/sec

Which are all available in the WMI/Performance counters.

Thanks,

George
