[Perfparse-users] RE: [Nagiosplug-help] Added perfdata to check_nt

[Cook, G. <GW...@ma...>]

Jon,
From looking at the bottom of this thread, it appears as though you did
get the correct file. However, I have made changes to further improve
the performance data output of check_nt since that first post.

Please grab the check_nt.c.patch from the Plugins section of the
PerfParse web site (http://perfparse.sf.net/).
Once you have the patch, you should apply it to check_nt.c in the Nagios
plugins source directory. You should be using at least version
1.4.0alpha plugins, if not the latest CVS.
If you need help applying the patch, see the manuals for patch and
possibly diff ('man patch' & 'man diff').

Once you've applied the patch to check_nt.c, you should recompile your
plugins source using the 'configure' and 'make' commands. Then you can
either 'make install' to reinstall all plugins, or simply copy the
compiled check_nt binary to your nagios plugins directory (usually
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/).
