- drop_percent_warn :: Drop percent warning threshold.
- Default :: .75
- drop_percent_crit :: Drop percent critical threshold.
- Default :: 1
- error_delta_warn :: Error delta warning threshold. In errors/second.

my $args = {
mode => 'librenms',
drop_percent_warn => .75;
drop_percent_crit => 1,
error_delta_warn => 1,
error_delta_crit => 2,
max_age => 360,
error_ignore=>[],
files=>{
'ids'=>'/var/log/suricata/alert-ids.json',

my $sm=Suricata::Monitoring->new( $args );
