A Simple Windows Plugin to display the Total Process Memory consumed by a single/multiple processors. It also displays valuable performance data.
This plugin checks the Memory of a Single(Multiple) Windows Process. If multiple processors with the same name exists, it will simply add the memory consumed. Its written purely in .vbs script for Windows platforms and doesnt require any additional software (or complications). It takes less than 5 minutes to setup.

This plugin generates the WorkingSet memory, PageFile used & ThreadCount for the [Process]. The following output is displayed when the correct input is provided.

#Output Generated# v1
WorkingSet[w3wp.exe]=241mb ThreadCount=[65] PageFileUsed=[0mb]

#Output Generated# v2
WorkingSet[svchost.exe]=172mb ThreadCount=[173] WorkingSet[explorer.exe]=53mb] ThreadCount=[17]

#Performance data# v1
|w3wp.exeW=247840768;0;0;0; w3wp.exeP=233040;0;0;0; ThreadCount=66;0;0;0;

[How To Implement] v1
Download the [check_proc_mem.vbs] into your /NSClient++/scripts/ folders, and add the check_procmem mapping into the External Scripts... (remember to restart the NSclient)
[External Scripts]
check_procmem=cscript.exe //NoLogo scriptscheck_proc_mem.vbs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
....
....

[How To Implement] v2
Download the [check_proc_mem_v2.vbs] into your /NSClient++/scripts/ folders, and add the check_procmem mapping into the External Scripts... (remember to restart the NSclient)
[External Scripts]
check_procmemv2=cscript.exe //NoLogo scriptscheck_proc_mem_v2.vbs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
....
....

You can test the plugin using the following example:
./check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.5 -p 25212 -c check_procmem -a sqlservr.exe dummy.exe 400 500

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.5 -p 25212 -c check_procmemv2 -a sqlservr.exe svchost.exe 400 500

From the Nagios Server side, you can access your plugin as follows...
define service{
use generic-service,srv-pnp
host_name MarketWin2k
service_description WinDotNet.MEM ; Values in megabytes(for version 1)...
check_command check_nrpe!check_procmem -a w3wp.exe dummy.exe 500 600
}

define service{
use generic-service,srv-pnp
host_name MarketWin2k
service_description SQLServer.MEM ; Values in megabytes(for version 2)...
check_command check_nrpe!check_procmemv2 -a sqlservr.exe svchost.exe 200 300
}

After you restart the Nagios, you should begin to see the graphs building with the WorkingSet,PageFile and ThreadCounts. The [dummy.exe] is not implemented in v1. This logic is implemented in v2.

Example: If the [w3wp.exe] process consumed above the 500mb limits, a Critical Alert will be triggered.

This appears to be the only stand-alone plugin that can be executed on a windows-server without a wrapper(complications).

If you like the plugin, please vote for it so I will be encouraged to work on Version3 of this..
