Description: A Nagios plugin that collects response times from logs.
        
        Usage: ``check_responsetime --logfile /path/to/logfile``
        
        Log format
        ==========
        
        The supported log format is as follows::
        
            <timestamp> "<http-verb> <path> <http-version>" <responsetime>
        
        - timestamp: %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
        - http-verb: GET, POST
        - path: the requested URL path
        - http-version: e.g. HTTP/1.1
        - responsetime in seconds, e. g. 0.5
        
        Example::
        
            17/May/2011:14:11:18 +0200 "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 0.289
        
        An example configuration for the nginx server looks like this::
        
            http {
                log_format timing '$time_local "$request" $upstream_response_time';
        
                server {
                    access_log /path/to/timing.log timing;
                }
            }
        
        
        Future directions
        =================
        
        One obvious additional feature is the ability to define thresholds (e.g. "a
        mean responsetime above 3 seconds is WARN, above 5 CRITICAL")
