service checks

edit node1.cfg

 $ sudo pico /usr/local/nagios/servers/node1.cfg
 ...
 # check windows network
 define service {
     use generic-service
     hostname node1
     service_description network usage
     check_command check_win_net_usage!"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller"
 }

edit node1.cfg use port

 $ sudo pico /usr/local/nagios/servers/node1.cfg
 ...
 # check windows network
 define service {
     use generic-service
     hostname node1
     service_description network usage
     check_command check_win_net_usage!"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller"!-p 5666
 }

edit node1.cfg use port, password, format

 $ sudo pico /usr/local/nagios/servers/node1.cfg
 ...
 # check windows network
 define service {
     use generic-service
     hostname node1
     service_description network usage
     check_command check_win_net_usage!"Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller"!-p 5666 -s passwd -o MB
 }

nagiosgraph map entry

     $ sudo pico /usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc/map
     ...
     # service type: check_win_net_usage
     # Regex by Claudio Kuenzler
     # Nagios Output: Network OK - 9 KBytes received/sec, 0 KBytes sent/sec
     # Perfdata: bytes_in=9988;bytes_out=367
     /perfdata:bytes_in=(\d+);bytes_out=(\d+)/
     and push @s, [nt_net,
     ['in_Bps', GAUGE, $1 ],
     ['out_Bps', GAUGE, $2 ] ];

how to find name of the network interface
1. how do you list all instance of a counter
```
 $ ./check_nrpe -c listCounterInstance -a "Network Interface"
```
2. check manually in windows using performance application gui
3. use typeperf.exe
```
 > typeperf.exe -qx | find "Network Interface"
```
