I've noticed that if you use check_nt for check a COUNTER like this<br>
<br>
./check_nt -H HOST-v COUNTER -l "\\Memory\Pages/sec","%.1f pages/sec"
-w 200 -c 400<br>
17.0 pages/sec | '%.1f pages/sec'=17.000000%;200.000000;400.000000;<br>
<br>
the returning metric has this %.1f that pollute the data and gets
showed in the graphics I generated, because perfparse storages it as
the metric value, but if a issue the same command without the %.1f, it
would return "No unit counter specified".<br>
So, I've patched the check_nt so it runs without the %.1f and it
uses the description as metric. It returns as bellow, better in my
opinion.<br>
<br>
check_nt -H HOST -v COUNTER -l "\\Memory\Pages/sec","pages/sec" -w 200
-c 400<br>
pages/sec = 28.00 pages/sec |
pages/sec=28.000000pages/sec;200.000000;400.000000;<br>
<br>
it still works for normal % COUNTER checks, where it founds the % unit
in the description field.<br>
<br>
check_nt -H HOST -v COUNTER -l "\\Paging File(_Total)\% usage","paging
file used" -w 95 -c 98<br>
paging file used = 14.00 % | 'paging file
used'=14.000000%;95.000000;98.000000;<br>
<br>
<br>
I am attaching the patch and I hope it does't break anything. I've
made some tests and everything seems to work fine.<br>
I am attaching some graphics that generated by our capacity
planning module that show why I made this patch and the patch it self
made against nagios-plugins-1.4.2.<br>
