windows server memory check is showing physical+page

[Kári]

We were able to confirm that it is checking a combination of all virtual memory - physical plus pagefile. This is a limitation of the check_nt command used by default. If you would like to separate that out it is possible, but will require changing the check command to use check_nrpe instead. Additionally, you will need to modify the NSClient++ config file on the target machine to allow arguments in the NRPE section. You can modify the check command from within the Core Config Manager, and make it read something like this:

check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.9 -p 5666 -c CheckMEM -a MaxWarn=80% MaxCrit=90% ShowAll type=physical

The "type=physical" part will restrict it to just RAM. See http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/CheckMem for more documentation on this check command.

Is it planned to fix it - check_nt command or default config wizard in Nagios XI? I'm concidering license purchace for Nagios XI mostly because of wizards future and posibility to "outsource" basic config tasks to support personel with no in-depth knowledge in Nagios. It would be rather difficult (but possible - yes) with this kinds of bugs.

I'm not sure if changing the existing Wizard would be something we would want. Thing about ppl who have added 100 hosts then all the sudden every host they add after an upgrade is vastly different.

However you can download the Wizard and make the appropriate changes on your own. Currently we are up to our knees in unavailable wizards, so it's likely that changes to existing wizards will take lower priority. There are a few ppl on these forums that have already ventured a few Wizards, all you need is a bit of PHP experience.
