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

[Carsten Koop]

Hi all,

If you're using NSClient++, you can check all the WMI-Counters with the 
following command:
./check_nt -H 127.0.0.1 -p 1234  -v COUNTER -l 
'\\Terminaldienste\\Sitzungen Insgesamt'

(You have to search the correct Counter with the Windows Performance 
Monitor)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

      Carsten Koop

checkCounter can check any performance counter object in windows as far as 
I know.
 
I found out if you are using nsclient++ the command “nsclient++ 
CheckSystem listpdh” would dump all the counters it found.
I looked for the process I was wanting to watch to find the right syntax 
for the process and instance.

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

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
