Nagios plugin to check Postgres Streaming replication
=====================================================

This script could be used as Nagios check plugin to verify Postgres Streaming
replication state.

This script :

- check if Postgres is running (CRITICAL raise if not)
- check if Postgres is in recovery mode :
  - if Postgres is in recovery mode :
    - retreive from Postgres the last xlog file receive and the xlog file replay
    - check if Postgres recovery configuration file is NOT present (CRITICAL
      raise if present)
    - retreive master connection informations from Postgres recovery configuration
      file (UNKNOWN raise on error). Default Postgres master TCP port will be used
      if port is not specify.
    - retreive  current xlog file from Postgres master server (UNKNOWN raise on error).
    - check if the last receive xlog file is the last replay xlog file (WARNING raise if not)
    - Return OK state
- if Postgres is not in recovery mode :
  - check if Postgres recovery configuration file is present (CRITICAL raise if present)
  - check if stand-by client(s) is connected (WARNING raise if not)
  - Return OK state with list and count of stand-by client(s)

Note : This script was originally write and test for PostgreSQL 9.1, but it could be compatible
with other versions of PostgreSQL. Do not hesitate to tell me how this script work with other
versions and share some fix. All contributions are welcome !
