[Nagiosplug-help] Please help with memory check

[Anthony Montibello]

hi Mandy,
 If you are having an issue with Check_nt try it from the commad line, to
make sure it is giving you the desired results.
 The problem that you may be experiencing could be that NS_Client is using
the "Commited Bytes" and "Commit Limit" To determin the % used. It may be
confusing because neither check_nt nor the NS_Client documentation was clear
on this.
 test the memory from the command line to experiment with the Thresholds if
you are still having issues with them. check the return code result by using
the `echo $?`
THe results are calculated in the check_nt plugin.
expected results:
 if the Used% result is greater than or equal to the critical value then the
result will be a critical. else if the Used% result is greater than or equal
to the warning value then the result will be a warning.
otherwise the result is OK or an error
 Also note: with the MEMUSE function of check_nt the -w and -c are optional.
you can specify both, one of them or neither depending on your needs.
  Hope this helps,
 Tony
