Maybe... I wrote one a while back, it's a shell script plugin. I don't
think I submitted it to the plugin developers, since I never got around
to adding the perfdata. Since I already have the RRDs from MRTG, and a
front-end to graph them, it seemed redundant to add perfdata and was
therefore not a high priority.

I've attached it, so see if it does what you are looking for.
If so, please send me some feedback. If you find that it works well,
perhaps I'll submit it as is and then I can always patch it up later if
need be.
