Errors for unknown counters

I try to chech CPUload for XP, but there are some lines from test mode. Is this a bug in NSClient?

Output from test mode:

i doesnt see any reason why yours shouldnt work, but try this method! its bit different cause im using Makros... hope that can help you!

Message #2601
Are the counters working at all? There are some fixes when indexes are broken.

Might wanan try:
```
nscp client --module checksystem --exec debugpdh
```
You can also override the counters manually (ie. to not use indexes) with the following in your config (assuming you are using new-ini syntax)
```
; Section for system checks and system settings
[/settings/check/system/windows]
; DEFAULT COUNTERS - Load the default counters: cpu, memory commit bytes, memory commit limit and uptime If not you need to specify these manually.
default = false
[/settings/check/system/windows/pdh/counters]
memory commit limit = \4\30
cpu = \238(_total)\6
memory commit bytes = \4\26
uptime = \2\674
```
Replace the various values with what you have on your system (you can find them easily from performance monitor)

  I'm having the same issue, and tried the suggestions here w/o luck
  
  I'm a newbie to NSClient++, and I'm in very deep weeds.
  
  Let's start with two questions:
  
  1) Should running nscp client --module checksystem --exec debugpdh be fixing something on it's own, or should I be picking through the output for some kind of message telling me what's wrong?
  
  2) I'm happy to do the configuration manually, but I'm not finding the codes (e.g. \4\30, \4\26) in perfmon. Can someone get me started?
  
  Installation Details:
  
  I've installed the 0.4.0 version on my Win7 64-bit machine. I asked it for a typical installation, installing everything EXCEPT the item that says "don't install this if you don't need it".

    First the command will simply try to open all counters. it is just a sanity check. (wont help really, and requires you to see if there are any errors).
    
    And you can replace \4\30 with "your real localized name" counter such as \\Memory\\committed bytes...
