Hi,
i encountered a problem that affects collecting performance data. If the
locale is not C or similar, then the performance data may have a
different number format. Example: with german locale the performance
data of check_disk and check_dns (and others) contain a "," instead of a
"." as decimal point.
In the plugin development guide
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN203
the "," is not allowed. Nagios addons that parse the performance data
may also be started with another locale and cannot guess the number format.
