check_nt and task manager

[Burton, Steven]

Hi,

we are having trouble with a service on our WinNT boxes which I monitor
using Nagios/check_nt. When I set this up with the -v COUNTER object on one
server the troublesome process (McAfee ePO frameworkservice) showed as 4.16%
processor time with check_nt while showing 95-97% in task manager's process
list. It is the same with the command line.
I used:

cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
./check_nt -H <hostname> -v COUNTER -l "\Process(FrameworkServic)\%
Processor Time","%.2f%%"

and yes, 'FrameworkServic' is the correct instance :-)

Can anyone shed any light on this as WinNT is not my strongest subject?

Steve Burton
