The purpose of this plugin is to allow you to trigger warning or critical states as you approach a date. This date might be the warranty expiry date on a server, or when a license needs renewing.
Usage: countdown_to_date.php --date date --warning wdays --critical cdays

date = The date in the future you are counting down to
This argument is required. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD
Examples: 2012-12-01 or 2020-05-09
wdays = How many days prior to countdown date before a WARNING alert is generated
cdays = How many days prior to countdown date before a CRITICAL alert is generated
Examples: 30 or 400
--warning OR --critical arguments are required. It is not necessary to use both.
