monitor Windows Process handles via nagios

[jenstar13]

Hi,

I found this support page on how to do this with NSClient
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=21805

but we use NCPA, do you have a way to do it with NCPA?
We're getting bit by swap and memory alerts on windows because of the way it uses it
our Windows Admins would like us to monitor the Process handles

Yes, this can be done. See the attached screenshot taken from the NCPA web interface highlighting the options and how to run it with check_ncpa.py on the XI machine.

Thank you
Do I need to add alert levels to it, or will it alert if it runs out of handles?

You will want to add alert levels. I don't know what the maximum number of handles is, but you definitely don't want your first alert to be when the process has exhausted the resource.
