Shortly after writing this, I found this plugin

http://www.ofn.dk/files/software/check_iostat

Anyone have any experience with this? I will give it a go and report back...

******************

UPDATE:

I configured my Perl environment (i.e. installed Perl modules from cpan,
etc), and now when implement this from the commad line, I get something like
this

./check_iostat.pl
IOSTAT OK - user 2.01 nice 0.00 sys 3.46 iowait 2.38 idle 92.15 | iowait=
2.38%;; idle=92.15%;; user=2.01%;; nice=0.00%;; sys=3.46%;;

this doesn't have /dev/ info that I'd expect to get from iostat, such as sda

e.g.

avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
2.01 0.00 3.46 2.38 92.15

Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn

dm-5 74.28 0.29 594.12 816842 1701922896

What might I be missing?
