. add the check_mysql_health plugin

. add an additional nagios::defaults::plugins class that is included in the nagios::defaults, this can be used to install other nagios plugins that aren't distributed in the nagios-plugins package
. use the nagios::defaults::plugins to setup the check_mysql_health plugin
. add a check_mysql_health command to defaults/commands.pp in the section for commands for services defined by other modules
. change the nagios::service::mysql to use the more advanced check_mysql_health plugin, instead of the basic check_mysql plugin

+       the database's port. (default: 3306)
+    --socket
+       the database's unix socket.
+    --username
+       the mysql db user
+    --password
+       the mysql db user's password
+    --database
+       the database's name. (default: information_schema)
+    --warning
+       the warning range
+    --critical
+       the critical range
+    --mode
+       the mode of the plugin. select one of the following keywords:

+    printf $format, $_->[1], $_->[3];
+  }
+  printf "\n";
+  print <<EOUS;
+    --name
+       the name of something that needs to be further specified,
+       currently only used for sql statements
+    --name2
+       if name is a sql statement, this statement would appear in
+       the output and the performance data. This can be ugly, so 
+       name2 can be used to appear instead.
+    --regexp
+       if this parameter is used, name will be interpreted as a 
+       regular expression.
+    --units
+       one of %, KB, MB, GB. This is used for a better output of mode=sql
+       and for specifying thresholds for mode=tablespace-free
+
+  In mode sql you can url-encode the statement so you will not have to mess
+  around with special characters in your Nagios service definitions.
+  Instead of 
+  --name="select count(*) from v\$session where status = 'ACTIVE'"
+  you can say 
+  --name=select%20count%28%2A%29%20from%20v%24session%20where%20status%20%3D%20%27ACTIVE%27
+  For your convenience you can call check_mysql_health with the --mode encode
+  option and it will encode the standard input.
+
+  You can find the full documentation at
