Hello All,

I am running NSClient++ version 5.2 on our front end Exchange 2010 servers running on 2008r2. I found this helpful article https://docs.nsclient.org/howto/counters/

When I run the following command on both servers I get very different results

C:\Program Files\NSClient++>nscp sys -- --list --all

Server #7 will find 1900 counters. Server #8 will find 40,000 counters.

Any recommendations on why there is such a difference would be appreciated. This broke several of my checks.
Thank you
Ryan

Different server have different performance counters depending on what software is installed on the server.. For example, a web server has a bunch of performance counter for each W3svc instance

I apologize for not being clear. Both servers in question are solely Exchange 2010 front end servers. It is just very odd to see such a difference.

Thank you

I guess all I can suggest would be to fave each list to a file and then compare them to see where they differ.
