Pagefile and Physical RAM Separation - Usage and Actual

Hello Everyone,

We have Nagios XI implemented and use the NSClient++ on the server client.

Currently, Nagios is setup to monitor the host memory as follows:

$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s "$ARG1$" -p 12489 -v $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
$ARG2$: MEMUSE
$ARG3$: -w 90 -c 95

With this, it looks at the entire memory blob as one entity adding the pagefile on top of actual physical RAM and then reporting them as once. Some of out application owners are not too fond of that. I've looked at the commands in the Nagios system, but none of them is pertaining to the pagefile.

Here's what I want to do.

-Have Nagios report the pagefile and memory displayed separately.

I can add a new command, but what will be the command line that will go with that?
Will the new command be a check or a misc command?

This is actually built into the WMI wizard if that's an option for your monitoring environment.

This does physical memory

check_nrpe -H <HostAddress> -t 30 -c CheckMem -a MaxCrit=100% ShowAll type=physical
