RES: NSClient can't display CPULOAD - digging deeper into the problem

[Sandro Vaz (UOL)]

Thomas:

I have installed more than 100 NSClients, and have seen all kind of
problems. Some of them:

1) Division by zero: solved once changing the counters.defs, because
Nsclient has detected OS language in a wrong way (it was English but
detected Brazilian Portuguese).

2) NSClient does not answer the queries after restart: had to downgrade to
version 1.07.0 or 1.06.2.

3) NSClient does not install: tried 3 times with same version, and i worked.

4) Connection refused by host (through different period of time - 5 min or 2
hours): don´t know why yet.


Despite of that, NSClient has serious problems when trying to get some
counters, and some guys here in the list are working on that.

It is vital to put Nagios in a multiplataform environment, so we have to
live with it (because it works great for the basic stuffs). In NSClient
site, we have a promise to get soon a full Nagios compliant version. Let´s
wait for the future...

Finally, I have problem with lost Exchange 5.5 performance counters, and
find an article telling me how to restore them (KB156494).

HTH,

Sandro Vaz

Assunto: [Nagios-users] NSClient can't display CPULOAD - digging deeper into
the problem



Hello All,

recently i stumbled over the following errors in Windows 2000 CPU
Performance monitoring with nagios 1.0 and nsclient 1.7.0.1. i also saw some
more posts about this problem so may be it helps fishing for some more
ideas:

CPULOAD:UNKNOWN:NSClient - ERROR:Malformed request or internal error. Check
EventLog:None&2&10 The event log showing NSClient: Division by zero.

Checking the Processor counters using perfmon under Windows 2000 Server SP3
brought up that they disappeared! Browsing the M$ knowledge base resulted in
several problems with missing and/or corrupted counters. Sadly only
solutions offered so far was updating to a new service pack. Unfortunally
i'm already at sp3. 
I also tried an kb article which recommended disabling the performance
counters per Hand until it works again. 

For today time is running out getting deeper into it, but hopefully someone
out there has a good clue for solving this problem.


Thomas

P.S.: Thanks to Ethan for this nice and funny new playground :)
