[Nagiosplug-help] instance for w2k performance counter

[David Levine]

Richard -
 
The NSClient service that is installed on the NT/2000 host is what makes
the calls to the actual counters - the check_nt plugin that resides on
the Nagios host requests and receives its info from the NSClient
service. 
Actually the whole comment thing is something I'm still not sure
about...I don't believe its neccessary, and I haven't looked at the
documentation in a while since the command does what I need it to. I'm
thinking that that is the comment in the message that will be sent if
the warning/critical thresholds are met?
 
Sorry if this doesn't answer your question...

David:
 
It is just a general question. Since in the NT performance monitor there
is an instance name, I am wondering how nagios address this...
 
By the way, is it required for the <option> section, i.e "busy pfmg
read-write requests %.2f %%" ?  What's the difference if I do not supply
that to check_nt ?
 
Thanks,

Richard Wu

Richard -

Which Win2k performance counter in particular are you interested in?
Here is an example from my checkcommands.cfg file that makes use of a
Windows 2000 performance counter. Notice the syntax after the "-l".
The W2k performance counter is defined in the first argument,
and a comment follows it. You can find these counter names by looking 
in the W2k perfomance monitor.

Hope this helps...
