Hello!

I try to get memory working set for some process, but get error below:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H 10.251.36.83 -p 5666 -s asdf4321 -v COUNTER -l "\\Process(some_process)\\Working Set","WS: %.f" 
NSClient - ERROR: Invalid return from command: check_pdh

I'm sure that I use right process name. Also I can find this process with Process Monitor on local machine.

Are there any ways of monitoring hidden processes?

Thank you in advance!

Can you show us a screenshot of an actual performance counter existing for this process? Not all processes will have counters to monitor.

This document should help you out - https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.p ... ategory=19

Are you just trying to monitor if a process is running?
