Hello,

I have a question about check_snmp. It's a fine tool. But in some cases time-values are translated by snmp in seconds  or seconds multiplied with hundred.
For example the time of an ups(APC) which it can hold the power is such a value, may be about 2 hours
~ value=942000. Nobody checks the time in such values.
For this reason it would be good the option --rate-multiplier would work without the option -rate filename.
How can this realized with the tool check_snmp.
The option -l value-name is very good  to name the snmp-results.

Kind regards
