I found myself in an awkward situation where I couldn't run NRPE or use check_by_ssh on the system hosting a Drupal instance I needed to monitor, hence this patch which allows check_drupal_log to read from stdin.
The expected use of this feature is that on the web server, a cron job will run
check_drupal_log -l /var/www/foo/cdl.txt
to dump plugin output to a text file. On the monitoring server, Nagios (or Icinga or...) picks up the content of the file and parses it by runningcurl https://my.site.example.com/foo/cdl.txt | check_drupal_log -f -
