<div>You could try testing with NC_NEt(<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net">http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net</a>) or NSCLinet (<a href="http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/">http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/</a>)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They are both copatible with Check_nt so there will be minimal to no reconfiguration needed on Nagios side, However the default listen port is 1248 so you would need to at least configure that on the client side.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>check_nt does not have a showall for COunters , so that should not havee helped anything. Run the command help and check the documentation for your windows plugin. Also check the service description </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I prefer to use the following definition:</div>
<div><pre><font size="4">define command{
command_name check_nt_with_L
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s PASSWORD -v $ARG1$ -l "$ARG2$" $ARG3$
}
</font></pre><pre><font size="4">then the check command:</font></pre><pre><font size="4">check_nt!COUNTER!Process\(Outlook)\Working Set</font></pre><pre><font size="4">since the passing to the Command definision may be losing your "" </font></pre>
<pre><font size="4">NC_Net would return a -1 when your Counter fails to actually connect but I do not know what nsclient++ returns on a bad counter.</font></pre><pre><font size="4">You may need to test from the command line what nsclient++ returns when the COunter is incorrect syntex.</font></pre>

<div> Ok, so I found an example using the COUNTER object. From the Nagios server I can run the following and get correct data back:<br><br>check_nt -H <a href="http://192.168.1.1/" target="_blank">192.168.1.1</a> -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "Process\(Outlook)\Working Set"<br>
this returns memory for me...<br><br>but when i put this into the windows.cfg file as:<br>check_nt!COUNTER!-l "Process\(Outlook)\Working Set"<br><br>it verifies as no errors, but the GUI is showing 0, which is not the same as from the command-line. I also tried the -d SHOWALL option and that didn't work. Any ideas?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance,<br><font color="#888888">Izz<br></font></div>

<div>
<div>
<div>You should be able to get this data through the Process performance counter object with the instance set to the process name (as long as you can map the process name to an actual counter instance) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>or you should be able to get this data through a WMI querry</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or you can write a script or program and get the data through NC_NEt or a NRPE plugin</div>
