# check_dcmfind.py
# Nagios plugin to check a DICOM find service which is the first stage of a query/retrieve operation (find/c-move) .
#
# The script is a wrapper for dcmtk's (http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en) findscu
# to monitor FIND(Query) SCP. dcmtk will have to be installed (or the binary built) on the
# nagios system. Easiest way on an ubuntu system is to use apt:
# sudo apt-get install dcmtk
# dcmtk version 3.6.0 has been used successfully
# The findscu command tries to find studies with the study date of 1950-01-01. The query should be successful and return no studies.
# this work is based on check_dcm.py
