check_inivalue.pl - HowTo:
-----------------------------------------------------

Usage: $PROGNAME [-i infile] [-s section] [-k key] [-o OK_Value] [-w or -W WARNING_Value] [-c or -C CRTICAL_Value ] [-l LABEL]

Options:

-i --infile STRING
Path and file name to the ini/config file.
-s --section STRING
String to identify the ini/config Section.
-k --key STRING
String to identify the key of the value.
-o --ok STRING
Value for OK.
-w --warning STRING
Value for WARNING.
-c --critical STRING
Value for CRITICAL.
-W --WarnFloat FLOAT
Threshold for WARNING.
-C --CritFloat FLOAT
Threshold for CRITICAL.
-l --label STRING
String for label the performance data.
-h --help
Using this option to show this help info.

Attention:

-i, -s and -k are necessary!

The options -o and/or -w and/or -c are necessary if you want to check for a string value.
If only -w or -c are defined all other values end in OK State.
If -o and/or -w are defined (not -c) all values other then in this defined options end in CRITICAL State.
If -o and -c are defined (not -w) all values other then in this defined options end in WARNING State.
If -o and -w and -c are defined all values other then in this defined options end in UNKNOWN State.
(While checking for a string the options --WarnFloat and --CritFloat will be ignored)!

The options -W and/or -C are necessary if you want to check for a float value.
If only -W is defined, all values higher or equal will end in WARNING State.
If only -C is defined, all values higher or equal will end in CRITICAL State.
If -W and -C are defined and the value is between, it end in WARNING State.
If the option for -W is higher then for -C :
A value higher then the option defined by -W end in OK State.
Is the value less or equal the option defined by -C it end in CRITICAL State.
(Do not use -o, -w and/or -c if you want to check for float values)!
