I use a check something similar, I (badly) wrote a Perl script for the check.
It runs on Solaris though so would need fiddling for windows /ActivePerl.
Plus its expecting data in the format 'value1:1234 value2:1234 value3:4567'
So again would need playing with to work how you want it to...

I have attached the script and some config files.
