The perl plugin was trivial to write. The hard part turns out to be 
configuring thresholds to give sensible notifications.

  <Type df>
   WarningMax 10
   WarningMin 0
   FailureMax 100
   FailureMin 0
   Percentage true
   Persist true
   Hits 6
  </Type>

Results in a slew of notifications like:

Data source "used" is currently 21075853312.000000. That is above the 
warning threshold of 10.000000%.

Which gives the impression of collectd ignoring the percentage true setting.

Does anyone have thresholds/notifications actually working?
