Windows Process Checking

[Jorg.Schulz at systeam.se]

Hi 

The wincheck_counter plugin has to be on a w2k or 2003 box. 
The plugin to get the information is check_nrpe from the Linux/unix site.

If you want to get info from remote hosts (linux) you need a NRPE or via
SNMP


Example 

Here are some samples of monitoring stuff you can do with the counter.

[quote]# General Health
command[check_gen_sut]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "System" -P
"System Up Time" -f "System Up Time is %f Seconds"
command[check_gen_prq]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "System" -P
"% Registry Quota in use" -w 75 -c 85 -f "Registry Quota in use is %f%%"

# Processor Health
command[check_proc_tpt]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Processor"
-I "_Total" -P "% Processor Time" -w 70 -c 85 -f "Processor Time is %f%%"
command[check_proc_pql]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "System" -P
"Processor Queue Length" -w 80 -c 90 -f "Processor Queue Length is %f"
command[check_proc_ppt]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Processor"
-I "_Total" -P "% Privileged Time" -w 20 -c 25 -f "Processor Privileged
Time is %f%%"
command[check_proc_dpt]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Processor"
-I "_Total" -P "% DPC Time" -w 40 -c 50 -f "Deferred Procedure calls is
%f%%"

# Memory Health
command[check_mem_pps]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Memory" -P
"Pages/sec" -c 50 -w 25 -f "Pages per second is %f"
command[check_mem_fps]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Memory" -P
"Page Faults/sec" -w 50 -c 100 -f "Page Faults per second is %f"
command[check_mem_pfu]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "Paging File"
-I "_Total" -P "% Usage" -w 65 -c 71 -f "Paging File Usage is %f%%"

# Disk Health
command[check_disk_c]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C "LogicalDisk"
-I "C:" -P "% Free Space" -w 20 -c 10 -f "Disk C is %f%% free."
command[check_disk_pdt]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C
"PhysicalDisk" -I "_Total" -P "% Disk Time" -w 40 -c 50 -f "%% Disk Time
is %f"
command[check_disk_rql]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C
"PhysicalDisk" -I "_Total" -P "Avg. Disk Read Queue Length" -w 1 -c 2 -f
"Avg. Read Queue Length is %f"
command[check_disk_wql]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C
"PhysicalDisk" -I "_Total" -P "Avg. Disk Write Queue Length" -w 1 -c 2 -f
"Avg. Write Queue Length is %f"

# Exchange 5.5
command[msexchangeimc_que_out]=C:\winnt\wincheck\wincheck_counter -C
"MSExchangeIMC" -P "Queued Outbound" -w 200 -c 250 -f "Queued Outbound is
%f Emails Waiting for Delivery"

I downloaded the wincheck_counter plugin from nagiosexchange.org.
However, I only noticed a .dll file and an .exe file.  I am assuming that
these will not work under *NIX installations of Nagios?  If not, is there
a plugin comparable to this for running on *NIX-based Nagios
configurations?
