[openib-general] Port error rate detection

[Steven Carter]

I have a Nagios module that alerts on connectivity, port errors, 
speed/width problems.  I would like to give it the ability to change the 
severity of the alert depending on whether errors are just present or if 
they are increasing faster than a specified rate.  The intent is to 
equip the module to keep the state of the last query and possibly 
history, but I wanted to make sure that I was not re-inventing the wheel 
first.  Is there an attribute or utility that I am overlooking that will 
help me do this?

Thanks,

Steven.
