check_rrd.pl
check_rrd.pl has three modes: --info for having a quick look at the rrd header data; --age to check the time since the last recent update; --ds (data source) to check the values of a specific data source within the rrd file. Use check_rrd.pl --help for full documentation.
If you want to use it altogether with cacti, the parameter -R can use standard file matching globbing (*?) so it will pick the proper file without knowing the device id.
#You could define check for email limits like this:
define command{
command_name check_mqueue
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rrd.pl -R /var/www/cacti/rra/$HOSTNAME$_qmailqueue_* --ds QmailQueue -w$ARG1$ -c$ARG2$ --start -10min --end -5min --compute=MAX
}

This is a small pathc to allow fuzzy names (with globbing), it helps when integrating with cacti, so we can make a match like servername_service_*.rrd that is more effective.

First thanks for this add-on.
I just have a problem using it...
./check_rrd.pl -R /usr/share/cacti/site/rra/sec-001-prd-mgw_cpu_per_1329.rrd --ds cpu_per -w40 -c50 -v
CHECK_RRD CRITICAL - AVERAGE: 4.91611111111111 | cpu_per.AVERAGE.average=4.91611111111111;40;50
The returned value is 4.91611111111111, so this value is
