I got it working from the check command and it returns to the GUI now...I made a typo :(
Correct check_command: check_nt!COUNTER!-l "\\Process(OUTLOOK)\\Working Set" With more assistance from meulie.net forum, (http://www.meulie.net/portal_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?11229) I got the data I needed. Now I have another question, and maybe it has been answered before, but looking at the GUI currently, for this process it shows: Outlook Memory Usage in Bytes OK 11-06-2008 07:29:18 0d 22h 15m 8s 1/3 74694700 Which is correct when compared to Task Manager. What I want to know is, can I divide this by 1024 to get into kb AND format it with a comma? :) I know that is a lot to ask...but would be nice. There is an optional <description> output for the COUNTER variable, but am unsure of exactly how it works, and if this is even the route I should take. Greatly appreciate any help in advance.
