Re: [Perfparse-users] low bound thresholds

[Ben C. <be...@cl...>]

Hi Rene,

There is a supported mechanism.  Unfortunately not fully supported yet 
by perfparse.

The plugins have a warning/critical format where by a range can be 
selected.  Therefore any threshold can be defined.  As well an inner or 
outer range.

This is explained in more depth here:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT

Your plugin will need to be edited to correctly use the theses.  You 
will also have to wait until work on PerfParse has been completed. 
Hopefully soon.

I hope this is of help,

Ben Clewett.
