James - have you tried putting double slashes in the Opsview service definition:
"\\Web Service(_Total)\\Current Connections" - I had a similar thing with file sizes have to be stored as D:\\MDBDATA\\priv1.edb etc Matt From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Whittington Sent: 26 October 2010 18:26 To: Opsview Users Subject: [opsview-users] Having issues checking counter in Win08 server I am trying to create a Service check to check web connections on my Windows 2008 web servers. I check service state through Opsview Agent/nsclient++ already on the same server so I figured checking some counters would be pretty easy. This command works properly as user nagios from the Opsview monitoring node doing the polling: ./check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -c nsc_checkcounter -a '"\Web Service(_Total)\Current Connections" MaxWarn=100 MaxCrit=300 ShowAll' "OK: \Web Service(_Total)\Current Connections: 1|'\Web Service(_Total)\Current Connections'=1;100;300;" The service definition I created in Opsview looks like this: check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c nsc_checkcounter -a '"\Web Service(_Total)\Current Connections" MaxWarn=100 MaxCrit=300 ShowAll' This is the error that appears in Opsview: ERROR: Web Service(_Total)Current Connections: PdhAddCounter failed: -1073738816: Unable to parse the counter path. Check the format and syntax of the specified path. I figure others out there has come across this previously (maybe something needs to be escaped?) so I figured I'd post it to the group.
