Elastic Watcher is very flexible and powerful. When you use this feature you start to depend on the correct behavior of the Elastic Watcher engine and the execution of your watches. "Trust is good, control is better", so you might want to monitor the Elastic Watcher. Watching the watcher so to speak. To effectively do that you need something like Elastic Watcher but outside of the system because if Elastic Watcher fails, it could not alert you of it.

Refer to https://github.com/ypid-geberit/examples/tree/add/watching_the_elastic_watcher/Alerting/watching_the_elastic_watcher for details.

I have done a major rework of this to address the TODO item "Add a Nagios check plugin mode". It is not done yet. Ping me if you are interested.

Version: 0.3.0

Changelog:

* Now supports Nagios. nagios_passive is experimental.
* Output is better understandable.

I pushed the rework. I guess the check has outgrown the elastic/examples repo and I will probably put it https://github.com/github/monitoring-checks (that I will have to create). I will leave this PR open until then so that people could find and test it already.
