NSClient can't display CPULOAD - digging deeper into the problem

[Scholten, Thomas]

Hello All,

recently i stumbled over the following errors in Windows 2000 CPU
Performance monitoring with nagios 1.0 and nsclient 1.7.0.1. i also saw some
more posts about this problem so may be it helps fishing for some more
ideas:

CPULOAD:UNKNOWN:NSClient - ERROR:Malformed request or internal error. Check
EventLog:None&2&10
The event log showing NSClient: Division by zero.

Checking the Processor counters using perfmon under Windows 2000 Server SP3
brought up that they disappeared! Browsing the M$ knowledge base resulted in
several problems with missing and/or corrupted counters. Sadly only
solutions offered so far was updating to a new service pack. Unfortunally
i'm already at sp3. 
I also tried an kb article which recommended disabling the performance
counters per Hand until it works again. 

For today time is running out getting deeper into it, but hopefully someone
out there has a good clue for solving this problem.


Thomas

P.S.: Thanks to Ethan for this nice and funny new playground :)
