Hi,
When I'm trying to use check_snmp plugin to calculate rates from snmp outpu=
ts, it sometimes returns floating point values with digits.
Unfortunately, when check_snmp is used together with rrd tool (exactly by N=
agios),, rrd cannot render graphics, because it expects integer values as i=
nput.

It check_snm would have some option to round returned values, it will help =
a little to solve that issue.

Would it be possible to add extra behaviour of check_snmp plugin ?
