NSCClient++ check_nt CPULOAD

[FrontlineIT]

Happy Tuesday,

When it comes to the NSClient++, we are running 0.3.9 and have CPULOAD monitors setup across the board using check_nt. We are curious on what data the NSClient is pulling when reporting back on the CPU %. Would someone be able to assist?

Thanks!

For example, is the client getting its data from Resource Monitor? Thanks again.

We are curious on what data the NSClient is pulling when reporting back on the CPU %

That's probably a better question for the NSClient++ forums.

I am not an expert on NSClient++, but as far as I can tell checkCPU (for 0.3.9 anyway) references the following Windows performance counters:

Code: Select all

#define C_SYSTEM_CPU_BUFFER_TIME _T("CPUBufferSize") 
#define C_SYSTEM_CPU _T("SystemTotalProcessorTime")
#define C_SYSTEM_MEM_CPU_DEFAULT _T("\\Processor(_total)\\% Processor Time")

And does some clever math on them.

Thanks @mcapra for the help. @FrontlineIT let us know if you have any further questions.
