I am not.

Define novel ;-) ...  Here's my Nagios check function:
http://flashback.sorbs.net/packages/check_bucardo_repl.pl.txt

The simplest way to do it is add a table 'bucardocheck' to the sync you
want to monitor (table name is definable) with columns of pk (INT) and
ts (TIMESTAMPZ) than then define the command in nagios with the relevant
params..  (see help).. if you're doing multimaster set a different pk
row for each master or you'll get continual conflict checking (which is
ok, but it slows stuff down and screws with the lag calculation)
