I have tried 3 different versions of Windows OS, the version seems to make
no odds.

Doesn't matter if 32 or 64 bit either.

 

 

 

Some examples

 

 

 

MY primary domain controller - Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) - 8GB ram
installed

 

Output from the check appears correct:

Memory usage: total:8205.64 Mb - used: 2902.96 Mb (35%) - free: 5302.67 Mb
(65%)



 

 

 

Another 2008 R2 (x64) server box (has SQL installed on it) - 12GB ram
installed

 

Output thinks its got 24GB:

Memory usage: total:24573.16 Mb - used: 1796.71 Mb (7%) - free: 22776.45 Mb
(93%) 

 

 

 

 

A Server 2003 Standard (x86) box (an internal test web server) - 512MB ram
installed

 

Output thinks its got over 1GB:

Memory usage: total:1257.50 Mb - used: 333.30 Mb (27%) - free: 924.20 Mb
(73%)

 

 

 

A Server 2012 (x64) box (with HyperV installed) - 28GB ram installed

 

Output thinks tis got 32GB:

Memory usage: total:32500.80 Mb - used: 16709.37 Mb (51%) - free: 15791.43
Mb (49%)

 

 

 

 

Anybody any ideas as to why check_nt is returning incorrect info. I know its
incorrect but Nagios doesn't so where exactly is it reading these values
from?

 

Thanks in advance for anybodies input.

 

Regards

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt - MEMORY USAGE - incorrect results

[C. Bensend]

Not entirely accurate.

I just started troubleshooting a Win2008 R2 system yesterday - it has
16GB of physical RAM + 16 GB pagefile for a total of 32GB of virtual
memory.

The system is using 10.9GB of physical RAM, yet check_nt tells me
it's using 2.69GB.  Completely wrong, even if check_nt was only
talking about physical, only talking about virtual, or talking about
the sum.

Solution?  Remove yet another checkcommand using that outdated
program.

Hi all,

Using the supplied check_nt plugin to check Memory Usage on
Windows servers.

Some report correctly, others report a complete load of old tosh!!!

I have tried 3 different versions of Windows OS, the version seems
to make no odds.

Doesn't matter if 32 or 64 bit either.

Some examples

MY primary domain controller -- Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) --
8GB ram installed

Output from the check appears correct:

Memory usage: total:8205.64 Mb - used: 2902.96 Mb (35%) - free:
5302.67 Mb (65%)


Another 2008 R2 (x64) server box (has SQL installed on it) -- 12GB
ram installed

Output thinks its got 24GB:

Memory usage: total:24573.16 Mb - used: 1796.71 Mb (7%) - free:
22776.45 Mb (93%)

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt - MEMORY USAGE - incorrect results

[omar saddiki]

this because in your server 2008 you will see that there is a virtual
memory activated, go to Computer proprieties and see in performences you
will have for exemple for " R2 (x64) server box (has SQL installed on it) –
12GB ram installed " 12GB of virtual memory.Finaly, Nagios take the some of
memories ( virual memory + RAM).
