@ Kyang: I would like to use check_nt. Based on example given by lmiltchev i tried nrpe also but it failed.

So if you suggest check_nt works better then check_nrpe please let me know how do i continue with check_nt configuration.

With regards to connection error. I have checked the allowed host and port both are allowed on that machine. If this goes into different issue altogether we can discuss check_nrpe in a different thread

Hello,

If using check_xi_service_nsclient (which is using check_nt). You can do 2 ways in order to add it into XI.

I would suggest using the wizard, if you aren't monitoring that windows host.

This kb article will show how to put in the counter into the wizard. (Using the first example)
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=127

Which should be this as lmiltchev showed. (Put that into the counters when running the windows config wizard)

Code: Select all

\\PhysicalDisk(0 C:)\\Avg. Disk Bytes\/Write
You can set your warnings and critical threshold to what you like.


Let me know how it goes.

@Kyang: I have setup the Disk IO and it seems to be working. Just waiting for the confirmation from the actual user to verify and let me know.

Please keep this thread for a couple of days till i get a confirmation.

If you have the details for other performance counter do share the same i can plan to setup the same in future..

Thank you again for your support.

Sounds good!

Let us know your other requirements for performance counters so we can help you.

Most likely, you'll probably want Disk read time or something to go along with your Disk write time.

Code: Select all

\LogicalDisk(C:)\% Disk Read Time
Otherwise, we will be here.
