<div>The Check command from the Nagios v3.x Documentation should be better to use in most situations:</div>
<div><pre>define command{
command_name check_nt
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
</pre><pre>(make sure port matches your systems and change it to check_nc_net if using it in place of check_nt)</pre><pre>as for the service definition the problems with the one you proposed was A) it is missing the instance, B) it mispelled the counter name, avg. instead of average
</pre><pre>If you upgrade to NC_NEt then the Counter name, counter instaces and the Counter Category could have been checked remotly. using ENUMCOUNTER and INSTANCES (check_nc_net is required to use these commands and it is backwards compatible with Check_nt)
</pre><pre>From the command line this is the prefered syntex if your using NC_NEt because it eliminates the \ and () making the parsing of instance and catagory a bit easier. (this syntex works when using either check_nt and check_nc_net. on NC_NEt only)
</pre><pre>./check_nt -H notebook1 -v COUNTER -l '^PhysicalDisk^_total^avg. disk sec/write'<br>otherwise the older command line syntex that should work on most clients(including NC_NEt):</pre><pre>./check_nt -H notebook1 -v COUNTER -l '\PhysicalDisk(_total)\avg. disk sec/write'
<br></pre><pre>For the Service definition using the above check command would look like: (only valid for NC_NEt)</pre><pre>check_command check_nt!COUNTER!-l '^PhysicalDisk^_total^avg. disk sec/write' -w 2 -c 5<br>
</pre><pre>For all other check_nt hosts the syntex would be:</pre><pre> check_command check_nt!COUNTER!-l '\\PhysicalDisk(_total)\\avg. disk sec/write' -w 2 -c 5</pre><pre> </pre><pre>once again, most of this information should be availible in documentation and in help files, I know NC_NEt has this information in its "./check_nc_net --help=COUNTER" as well as in its documentaion.

<div>Hi Marc,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Install a widows plugin onto the Windows Host.</div>
<div>I recomend NC_NEt, then use check_nt or compile and use check_nc_net</div>
<div>if using check_nc_net the syntex is in the help "check_nc_net --help=COUNTER"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>nc_net is availible from sourceforge: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are also other plugins availibles for monitoring windows. see nagios exchange or review through this mailing lists archives.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good Luck,</div>
