Re: Windows Performance Counters - Best Practices for Nagios

I still get returned a 0 from Nagios even though performance monitor now shows the value over 400.

Re: Just installed 2011 1.1 - Where is the Hypermap?

OK I found it, but I cannot download it. I AM logged in with my nagios library account for my company. When I click on the link to download it, it asks me to subscribe! Is there a direct download link or something? How can I get out of this perpetual loop the website has me in?

Just installed 2011 1.1 - Where is the Hypermap?

Am I missing something? Where is the hypermap after I upgrade to 2011 1.1?

I cannot see it. I have activated my license.

Windows Performance Counters - Best Practices for Nagios?

Is there a special document or helpfile on gathering Windows server performance counters? I notice there are few templates, and when I try to use the ones in the Windows Server Wizard as templates, I always fail. Right now I have a specific need to monitor the transaction log of a database on a MSSQ...

Re: Getting Windows Performance counters "just right"

Still cannot get it to work. For reference, the counter I am trying to get is SQL Server:Databases - [database name] Log File(s) Size (KB) I used the Windows Server Monitoring Wizard to create the service check. No matter what I do, it still returns a "0" as the result, even though the log...

Re: ...About to purchase but have 3 outstanding items
