free Page table entries

[Kevin Keane]

To see all available performance monitors, simply open the Performance 
Monitor application (perfmon.exe) and click on the + icon. In this case, 
the performance monitor you'd want is under Memory and is called Free 
System Page Table Entries. It is one of the more commonly monitored 
counters, so you can probably google for it. If you include NSClient++ 
in your search, you'll get a lot of Nagios-specific information about it.

My TNTMonitoring agent also monitors it, BTW. You could download it and 
simply take a look at the configuration file to see how to call it (btw, 
the plugin I'm using to connect to NSClient++ is another GPL project of 
mine - basically just a port to Windows of the standard NSClient++ plugin).
