I'm struggling with the warning and critical limits with the check_nt command.

I'm using the following:

./check_nt -H <hostname> -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(5 M:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Read","Avg. Disk sec/Read","s" -w 1 -c 2

which works fine, but the results are in milliseconds like 0.00236
Result:

Code: Select all

label = 0.05 s | label=0.049584s;1.000000;2.000000;

Now I want to set the warning to 0.003 for example. But when I'm using the following code the limits are falling back to zero.

Code: Select all

./check_nt -H <hostname> -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(5 M:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Read","Avg. Disk sec/Read","s" -w "0.002" -c "0.003"

Result:

Code: Select all

label = 0.00 s | label=0.004813s;0.000000;0.000000;

Anyone?

The -w and -c switches for check_nt only accept an integer (a whole number) there's not really much you can do about that. I'm not really sure but the check_wmi_plus.pl plugin might do floats.

Ok, that's clear, but still a pity. So I will check the check_wmi_plus.pl plugin right now.
Thanks for clarifying my issue.

You can also try contacting the creator of the check_wmi_plus plugin if you have questions specific to it. Generally people who upload plugins on the Exchange are pretty good about replying.
