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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=375574000-02112002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It
is just a general question. Since in the NT performance monitor there is
an instance name, I am wondering how nagios address

<DIV><SPAN class=375574000-02112002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>By
the way, is it required for the <option> section, i.e <FONT

? What's the difference if I do not supply that to check_nt
?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
