Hi Jan, Thanks for the tip, that is a possibility, but when someone is following the documentation it is confusing that it doesn't work like they say:
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html) "Add the following service definition to monitor the CPU utilization on the Windows server and generate a CRITICAL alert if the 5-minute CPU load is 90% or more or a WARNING alert if the 5-minute load is 80% or greater. define service{ use generic-service host_name winserver service_description CPU Load check_command check_nt!CPULOAD!-l 5,80,90 }" It is confusing and it took me some time to find out what the problem was. Someone who doesn't know much about linux and just want to get nagios running will have a hard time when things are not working like documented.
