Checking Windows counter via nagios, nsclient++, and nrpe

[Robert Wolfe]

Can this also be used to monitor memory use by a process/program as well?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Checking Windows counter via nagios, nsclient++,and
nrpe

 

Hello all,

 

I have a Nagios 2 system used in monitoring several application environments
and I'm looking for the best way to monitor a Windows 2003 process.

I already have nsclient++ in place, and I'm using the  checkCounter command
in nrpe.

The main issue at this point is the counter in question returns a value in
scientific notation, which isn't very readable for non-scientists.

 

Here's the command and response:

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.197.183 -p 5666 -c checkCounter -a
"Counter:PrivBytes=\\Process(ProductATasksService)\\Private Bytes"  ShowAll

OK: PrivBytes: 2.38641e+08

 

Is there an option to convert the format to human readable?

If not I might have to write something to convert it which might be a bad
idea anyway, since I don't see performance data coming from the plugin
either and I write the performance data to a sql backend.

 

I figured I would toss the question out to the list to see if others had run
into this before.

Thanks,

 

James Whittington
