NSClient and check_nt command

[David Maynard]

It might be a problem with the performance data in Windows itself.  If you
search the Microsoft knowledge base, there are lots of articles about the
performance information becoming corrupted.  Unfortunately, I haven't seen
an easy solution that would apply in all cases.  There is a relatively
recent article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=300956, but it involves
fairly drastic (and potentially dangerous) changes.  If that is your
problem, you might be able to fix it by just reloading some of the
performance counter information.  Try searching on support.microsoft.com for
"lodctr" since that is the command used to load the performance information.
Unfortunately, it will probably not be easy to sort through all of the
information.

Also, try uninstalling nsclient, rebooting, then reinstalling nsclient.  I
have seen that fix some problems.

Good luck.

Hugo:

Try to look at counters.defs files, and compare the counters with the
perfmon counters (using Performance Monitor). If they're different, just put
the complete perfmon counters in that file (under the 0x416 section), and
restart the service.

If everything else fails, e-mail me and i will send a my counters.defs to
you.

Stranger....when I use check_nt command with USEDDISKSPACE parameters I
don't have problem. The messages in Event Log are :

NSClient 1.0.7.1 has started. Language code : 0x0416. DebugLevel: 0

NSClient is reading C:\NSClient\Win_2k_XP_Bin\counters.defs for counters
definitions. Language code : 0x0416

Thank You.
Hugo

The sintax seems OK, the problem is in the NSClient client.

What's the version installed? Have any entry at Event Log? Specially one
entry just after the install, which specifies the language detected?

More info, please.

I have been problem with NSClient in Windows 2000 and some sintax of
check_nt command. I put the check_nt in checkcommand.cfg file, but before I
wanted test for command line.
Example:

./check_nt -H 192.168.0.10 -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l 5,80,90 NSClient -
ERROR:Malformed request or internal error. Check EventLog:None&2&5

./check_nt -H 192.168.0.10 -p 1248 -v MEMUSE -w 80 -c 90
Memory usage: total:0.00 Mb - used: 0.00 Mb (nan%) - free: 0.00 Mb (nan%)


Could anyone help me ?
I installed NSClient conform the readme.htm file.

Thanks,
Hugo
