We are using Nagios V1.0 and Plugins 1.3.0. If anybody is then please let me know - then I can assume I am doing something wrong. I accept that you can install other SNMP counters etc, but I am trying to make network monitoring as easy as possible - with as fewer clients installed on servers. I have included a sample check command below. I'd be greateful of any help !! Thanks Matthew define command{ command_name check_nt_pagingfile command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\Paging File(_Total)\\% Usage","Paging file usage is %.2f %%" -w 70 -c 80 } <![if !supportLineBreakNewLine]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
