plugins that integrate with rrdtool

[Harper Mann]

This is a pretty basic plugin for checking RRD but it works.  It requires
the RRDs perl module.

Usage: check_rrd rrdfile [ds] warning critical

I'm the author Mark speaks of.

My "RRDtool notifier thingie" has been replaced with--da!--Nagios.

Does anyone have a URL for a check_rrd plugin?  Google and sourceforge
elude to one, but I couldn't find any actual code.

(It's highly likely that I'll write my own check_rrd* plugins.
But maybe not until the snow starts to fly around here!)
