Alerting #21

I’m not sure if it actually is acceptable for RRDTool or not, so I just thought there’s no harm in bringing it up.

Firing alerts based on definable situations can make a powerful monitoring tool. Usually, similar systems can fire alerts when a sudden change in data happens (a 200% increase or decrease, for example), when values go outside of a safe range, (below 1% or above 80%, for example), or when no data comes.

Alerts can be fired with calling web hooks, running scripts, or anything similar.
