Nagios Windows_SSH Monitoring Plugin

DESCRIPTION
This plugin monitors the CPU utilization on Windows machines via evaluation of the Process Performance Counters.
Processor(_Total)% User Time

Processor(_Total)% Privileged Time
This plugin gives you the CPU Utilization for the system, across all cores.

Threshold violations result when a metric value is "equal to or greater than" the thresholds provided.
E.g. -warning 10 will need the number of files to be equal to 10 or higher to throw a WARNING.
