NSClient++ WMI Counters Check Commands ??

[Kevin Keane]

I would actually use performance counters (via NSClient++ and check_nt 
or my Windows port, check_nt_win) rather than WMI, simply because it 
already exists. WMI really just provides you with a wrapper around 
performance counters anyway.

You can very easily find out ALL counters that are available. Simply 
start the Windows performance monitor (perfmon). Click on the + icon to 
add a counter. The Performance Objects are the first part in the string, 
the counters are the second. For instance, the string you gave means 
Performance Object "SQLServer:General Statistics" and Counter "User 
Connections". By the way, remember to use double backslashes every time 
you need just one.

As for the Blackberry BES: I'm working on a plugin for it right now, and 
would very much appreciate input on what specific counters etc. you 
would like to see monitored. Actually, I was tentatively planning to use 
SNMP, but can easily switch to WMI.
