I wouldn't worry about the technicalities of which is the "correct" value - this is what the discussion list is for! Paulo, Thanks for the patch. I've committed it almost verbatim. I've only made a slight change to the comments (we are trying to avoid using // and use /* */ instead - see the development guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html). I've also removed your copyright line from the CHECK_COUNTER code (the developer guidelines has a section on the reasons). If you are uncomfortable with this, then I can reverse the change.

The memory size that check_nt reports is a sum of RAM and pagefile sizes, as defined here: "Commit Charge: In the Windows operating system, the name for the amount of physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory that is allocated to all running programs, or applications, and the operating system itself. "Windows Task Manager displays the commit charge in its Performance tab. There are three memory readings, measured in kilobytes: * Total: refers to the total amount of physical and virtual memory the computer is using at that moment. * Limit: refers to the combined limit of both the physical memory and the allocated virtual memory. * Peak: refers to the highest total system memory usage during the session in which you are using the computer. "The commit charge will increase when applications are opened and used and decrease when applications are closed." So, dividing the memory collected by 3044515 is confusing, to say the least, as what is shown by MEMUSE is actually the Commit Charge. Dividing it by 3044515 assumes that we're using paging space that is two times the size of Physical RAM - this was exactly the reasoning used by a friend of mine, a Windows specialist. But he corrected himself quickly and went to check the paging file size. It was 1.5x the size of physical RAM and could grow up to 2x physical RAM, when neccessary. But even this behavior may be changed by the user - specifying a paging space that it's 3x the physical RAM, for exemple - thus making the plugin output useless. Another problem with this change is that the values returned by the plugin are different that those shown on field "Commit Charge" on Windows Task Manager, and this may confuse Windows SA's. Also, the original patch made by Gary Cook seems not to have implemented warning and critical levels for performance counters. I have an alternative implementation that does it, along with some sanity checking of the parameters needed to use -v COUNTER. The patch I'm sending solve both issues: it restores the divisor to 1 MB and implements warning and critical levels for performance counters. Please evaluate.
