WMICHECK error

[Anthony Montibello]

Please remember to include the PLUGIN name in the subject (NC_Net)

Sorry For the confusion,

It seems like one of the samples in the sample config has a typo, but
the README for the WMICHECK should have been correct. also the help
should have been correct,  ./check_nt --help=WMICHECK

The delimiter used in the WMI commands was changed in beginning of April to ^
your command was: 
-l "cimv2^select freespace from win32_logicaldisk&name='c:'" 

should be one of the following:
-l "cimv2^select freespace from win32_logicaldisk where name='c:'" 
-l "cimv2^freespace^win32_logicaldisk^name='c:'"

Bellow is more detail about the WMI checks:

There are three different checks to test WMI each interprets the
output slightly differently:

WMICHECK just spits out on multilines the query result,
WMICOUNTER - parses the numbers out of the results, and can check for
Warning or critical thresholds
WMICAT parses the query results into a '<comma><space>' delimited string 

-v WMICAT -l "cimv2^name^win32_logicaldisk"
A:, C:, D:, E:, H:, I:, J:
I cannot run the Query  -v WMICAT -l "cimv2^name,freespace^win32_logicaldisk"
because drive A and D do not have a freespace object as a WMICAT will
show, however I can run the query excluding drive A and drive D
-v WMICAT -l "cimv2^name,freespace^win32_logicaldisk^name!='a:' and name!='d:'"
C:, 1796866048, E:, 15389466624, H:, 20499869696, I:, 39081730048, J:,
21114593280

WMICOUNTER can be used to check a max or min on a query. run as is it
will return a minimum and compare to the threshold values of -w or -c
(both c,w  are optional) if the counters value is less then the
threshold an alert happens (exit code 1,2)  However the switch -d
SHOWALL will flip this check around and check for a MAX value and
return an alert when the counter value is greater than the thresholds
of -c or -w  (remember the -v and -d parameters must be all caps)
-v WMICOUNTER -l "cimv2^name,freespace^win32_logicaldisk^name!='a:'
and name!='d:'"
1796866048.00000
1796866048.000000 Showfail
-v WMICOUNTER -l "cimv2^name,freespace^win32_logicaldisk^name!='a:'
and name!='d:'" -d showall
1796861952.00000
1796861952.000000 Showfail
-v WMICOUNTER -l "cimv2^name,freespace^win32_logicaldisk^name!='a:'
and name!='d:'" -d SHOWALL
39081730048.00000

Hope this helps ,
