If have an example:

define service {
host_name                      <some_host>
service_description            MEMORY_tomcat
check_command 
check_nt!COUNTER!"\\Prozess(tomcat)\\Virtuelle Größe"," %.0f/10 Bytes 
used"!2500000000!3000000000
use                            generic-service-wo-perf
normal_check_interval          10
}

check the returned number please. In my environment the returned size 
was factor 10 to big. I don't know why.
