[check_postgres] more secure nagios checks

[Robert Treat]

Howdy folks,

I've got a system that has some relativly high security needs that I want to 
use check_postgres / nagios on.  Currently some the checks I want to use 
require superuser acess (like check_postgres_wal_files), but I'd rather not 
put a superuser account into my nagios config. In theory it would be easy to 
wrap the checks into a security definer function and have a non-super user 
call them, but I'm not really eager to make a quasi-fork of check postgres. 
So, before I do that, I thought I'd ask if anyone here has had a similar need 
and come up with a work around for that? Alternativly, if I do have to go 
through rewriting the checks, does anyone have an interest in using them? TIA
