SNMP Checking - Alert if a single value is detected

Hi there,

	I'm currently monitoring an APC UPS via SNMP.  The return value from
the query can mean a number of different things, but I'm only interested
in one.  However, the check_snmp plugin seems to work the opposite way I
need.  check_snmp will alert if a given value is not seen, rather than
alerting if a given value *is* seen..

	I know I can use the negate plugin to fix this, but this causes
misleading information to be left in the "status information" field.

	Is there a way to overcome this?
