[check_postgres] perfdata output

[Cédric Villemain]

Hello

I'd like to have a perfdata output which is 'consistent'. Using Nagios, we 
generate graph with pnp4nagios, but the pain is that check_postgres doesn't 
output everytime the same things in the perfata and pnp4nagios loose (because 
it lacks one DS or get one extra).

In order to filter out those issues, I think the better way is to use the --
include.

So I propose the following thing : --include also define the order and minimum 
information given after the | (so the perfdata as undertsood by nagios) 

./check_postgres.pl --action backends --include="foo,bar"
POSTGRES_BACKENDS OK:  0 of 100 connections (0%) | time=0.05 foo=0 bar=0

./check_postgres.pl --action backends --include="bar,foo"
POSTGRES_BACKENDS OK:  5 of 100 connections (5%) | time=0.05 bar=5 foo=0 

./check_postgres.pl --action backends --include="bar,foo"
POSTGRES_BACKENDS OK:  13 of 100 connections (13%) | time=0.05 bar=5 foo=0 
test=8 

./check_postgres.pl --action backends 
POSTGRES_BACKENDS OK:  0 of 100 connections (0%) | time=0.05

Do you like the idea ?
