Windows Server CPU reports incorrectly

[mhedtcke]

Hi there. I am getting this alert every hour even though the server NEVER tops 40% total cpu usage. I tried restarting it and it actually got worse (from complaining about 75% to complaining about 86% now)

It's a windows server 2012

Hello, @mhedtcke. Are you using NSClient? Have you updated it to the latest version?

[mhedtcke]

I am but the problem has subsided on its own. If it were to come back I will certainly update that and see if it helps resolve the issue.

@mhedtcke, Sounds good.
