Hello !!
I'm trying to get windows Active Directory counters from 'Security System-Wide Statistics' on NCPA agent and cannot get any counters from that. I tough it was some special charactere issue.
Others counters works like :
'windowscounters/DirectoryServices(*)/LDAP Bind Time'
'windowscounters/DirectoryServices(*)/LDAP Client Sessions'
...
Config of the service in question:
Check command:
check_xi_ncpa_agent
Command view:
$USER1$/check_ncpa.py -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
$ARG1$:
-t 'apikey' -P 5693 -M 'windowscounters/Security System-Wide Statistics/Kerberos Authentications' -w 3 -c 4
Sorry for my poor english writting !!
Thank you

Hi PowerDom,
If you run the command manually you see performance metric ??

Hi BennyBoy,
It's not a script ! I'm using the API windowscounter direct from the NCPA Agent !!!

Hi BennyBoy,
All other counters works, but not that specific one: "Security System-Wide Statistics" !!! I don't know if the hyphen could be the problem !!!

Thanks
@bennyboy,
Along with bennyboy's information on using it with check_ncpa.py
Could you take a screenshot of what it looks like in the UI for NCPA?
What version of the NCPA agent do you have?

The NCPA agent version is 2.0.5
There are some screenshot :
The problem counter in windows perfmon with result:
2-Problem_counter_Result_Windows_PERFMON.jpg
The problem counter contain 0 result:
1-Problem_Counter_ScreenShot_result_BAD.jpg
Another counter working with NCPA API containing hyphen:
4-Another_counter_RESULT_Good_with_HYPHEN_NCPA_API.jpg
So, my hyphen theory is wrong !!!

You could try upgrading to the newest version of the agent 2.0.6?
Otherwise, since you opened an issue on Github. The NCPA developer could give you better insight on this.
Are we okay to lock this up?

OK !! the problem is solved !
This counter is a 'per sec' counter. So i have to put a 'sleep' time in the command URL like
&sleep=1. The URL look something like this:
https://WinServerX:5693/api/windowscounters/Security System-Wide Statistics/Kerberos Authentications?sleep=1&check=true
So , for the service configuration in Nagios XI, I add at the end of $ARG1$
-q 'sleep=1'
It work fine after that !!
Thank you for your help.
