For the check_nt reference where it refers to the ‘COUNTER’ parameters it refers to ‘float parameters’. This does seem to be working for me. I have added to output from my Nagios server. I got the command line reference from <a href="http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Checking_NT_Services_with_Nagios">http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Checking_NT_Services_with_Nagios</a>. It refers to using NSclient so maybe nsclient++ does not have the same functionality.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any help would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> [root@srv-qs-nagiosp1 plugins]# ./check_nt -H srv-qs-sqlprd -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:Databases(_Total)\\Data File(s) Size (KB)","SQL Server Databases Datafile size total is %.f" -w 5 -c 30<o:p></o:p> SQL Server Databases Datafile size total is 191552 | 'SQL Server Databases Datafile size total is %.f'=191552.000000%;5.000000;30.000000;<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> COUNTER =<o:p></o:p> Check any performance counter of Windows NT/2000.<o:p></o:p> Request a -l parameters with the following syntax:<o:p></o:p> -l "\\<performance object>\\counter","<description><o:p></o:p> The <description> parameter is optional and is given to a printf <o:p></o:p> output command which requires a float parameter.<o:p></o:p> If <description> does not include "%%", it is used as a label.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Some examples:<o:p></o:p> "Paging file usage is %%.2f %%%%"<o:p></o:p> "%%.f %%%% paging file used."<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> *************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
