Hello Christoph,

A while ago I started check_lxc with the goal to have a "real"
Nagios/Icinga plugin for all kinds of lxc checks.
As the time urged back then I had to write it quickly so there are a lot of
improvements possible. I never called it "production ready" so I didn't
write a documentation nor did I publish the plugin. Please note that back
then it was version 0.8 which was used in my environment.

The last time I worked on it, the next thing on my todo list was to add a
switch to either include or exclude cached memory for each LXC guest.

Source code is here https://github.com/Napsty/check_lxc . Maybe it can be
of service.

cheers,
ck
