This plugin will check the incoming/outgoing transfer rates of a router,
switch, etc recorded in an MRTG log.  If the newest log entry is older
than <expire_minutes>, a WARNING status is returned. If either the
incoming or outgoing rates exceed the <icl> or <ocl> thresholds (in
Bytes/sec), a CRITICAL status results.  If either of the rates exceed
the <iwl> or <owl> thresholds (in Bytes/sec), a WARNING status results.


Usage check_mrtgtraf -F <log_file> -a <AVG | MAX> -w <warning_pair>
-c <critical_pair> [-e expire_minutes]

Options:
 -h, --help
    Print detailed help screen
 -V, --version
    Print version information
 -F, --filename=STRING
    File to read log from
 -e, --expires=INTEGER
    Minutes after which log expires
 -a, --aggregation=(AVG|MAX)
    Test average or maximum
 -w, --warning
    Warning threshold pair <incoming>,<outgoing>
 -c, --critical
    Critical threshold pair <incoming>,<outgoing>

Notes:
 - MRTG stands for Multi Router Traffic Grapher. It can be downloaded from
   http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html
 - While MRTG can monitor things other than traffic rates, this
   plugin probably won't work with much else without modification.
 - The calculated i/o rates are a little off from what MRTG actually
   reports.  I'm not sure why this is right now, but will look into it
   for future enhancements of this plugin.
