xml status.cgi output

[Russell Scibetti]

If you can, don't parse the status.cgi, parse status.log on the box 
running Nagios.  In fact, I already have a fairly thorough perl plugin 
called check_state which parses the status.log for Hard problems.  You 
can give it various arguments, such as number of 
critical/warning/unknown found in the log to result in a problem state, 
ignoring ack'd problems and things in downtime, regex matching based on 
service and/or host name, etc.

If people are interested in this, I can submit it to the nagiosplug 
project.  I had planned on submitting it soon, but I was going to do 
some more cleanup of the perl code first.
