check_ecm

This plugin queries a MySQL database for entries made by the ecmread.py data logger. It will report status for any number of ECM devices. By default, the plugin returns the last update of each ECM, and performance data (power and/or pulse counts) from each channel on each ECM. If the last update of any ECM was more than a warning or critical threshold in the past, then the state will be warning or critical, respectively.

The Brultech ECM-1240 is a power monitoring system that can monitor up to 7 circuits per ECM: http://www.brultech.com/
