Failed logins last hour

This plugin is ment to run in the monitoring target host, so you will need another plugin, like NRPE, installed and configured in your environment.

Example usage:
check_failed_logins.sh -w 5 -c 10
This will check for failed login attempts and return a warning when 5 to 9 attempts fail and a critical when 10 or more attempts fail.

SETUP (with NRPE, with other plugin should be a similar process):
1.- Copy the plugin to the RedHat server you want to monitor.
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_failed_logins_rh.sh
2.- Define an entry in nrpe.cfg:
command[check_failed_logins]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_failed_logins_rh.sh -w 5 -c 10 2>&1
3.- Restart NRPE service.
4.- Create a command in nagios:
define command {
command_name check_failed_logins_rh
command_line $USER1$/check_failed_logins_rh.sh -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
