Update: Cleaned up the code once yore pointed me to the json_decode() function. Also removed unnecessary rounding code.
Update 07/27/2010: Cleaned up the code a bit more, fixed the perfdata so it outputs in a sane format, and added rpcpassword option
Update 07/30/2010: The script has been redesigned so that it no longer requires the bitcoind binary, since it makes the JSON-RPC call directly. In order to get the current hashrate this plugin assumes you are running lachesis's getinfo patch. You can find the patch here: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/ (http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/)

Yes, it uses PHP but it works.

Latest as of 7/30/2010: http://pastebin.com/9iRSJWMr (http://pastebin.com/9iRSJWMr)

I have a munin code for bitcoin, but it's pretty shitty, and I don't have enough time to improve it further.
It makes a lot of assumptions right now, and plotting is bit off too.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
        config)
                cat <<'EOM'
graph_title Bitcoin Daemon
graph_vlabel Block Count
graph_args --base 1000 -l 68000
#graph_order balance blockcount difficulty
#balance.label balance
blockcount.label blockcount
#blockcount.min 50000
#difficulty.label difficulty
EOM
        exit 0;;
esac

#echo "balance.value" `bitcoind getbalance`
echo "blockcount.value" `bitcoind getblockcount`
#echo "difficulty.value" `bitcoind getdifficulty`

I've updated the code in my original post. I'm bumping this thread on the off chance someone would care to use my updated Nagios plugin.

I care, I'm looking for something like this and will try it out soon.
Nobody else uses it? How weird...

I wrote a Munin plugin for the getinfo data you might like to graph with Munin.

You can graph: wallet balance, peer connections, block number, and difficulty.
