If you are using NSClient to monitor the windows boxen, I've added perfdata to the check_nt plugin, for most of the checks. Someone else (sorry, don't remember who it was) then also added perfdata for the COUNTER check in check_nt. The updated version is available in the CVS plugins.

OK, good luck. If you have any issues, join the PerfParse mailing list and post your questions there.
