checkCounter can check any performance counter object in windows as far
as I know.
I found out if you are using nsclient++ the command "nsclient++
CheckSystem listpdh" would dump all the counters it found.
I looked for the process I was wanting to watch to find the right syntax
for the process and instance.

Can this also be used to monitor memory use by a process/program as
well?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Checking Windows counter via nagios,
nsclient++,and nrpe
Hello all,
I have a Nagios 2 system used in monitoring several application
environments and I'm looking for the best way to monitor a Windows 2003
process.
I already have nsclient++ in place, and I'm using the checkCounter
command in nrpe.
The main issue at this point is the counter in question returns a value
in scientific notation, which isn't very readable for non-scientists.
Here's the command and response:
./check_nrpe -H 192.168.197.183 -p 5666 -c checkCounter -a
"Counter:PrivBytes=\\Process(ProductATasksService)\\Private Bytes"
ShowAll
OK: PrivBytes: 2.38641e+08
Is there an option to convert the format to human readable?
If not I might have to write something to convert it which might be a
bad idea anyway, since I don't see performance data coming from the
plugin either and I write the performance data to a sql backend.
I figured I would toss the question out to the list to see if others had
run into this before.
Thanks,
James Whittington
