Warning and Critical Levels not working in 'updates' mode

[geotekberlin]

In 'updates' mode the plugin returns correctly the number of linux updates pending, but it is impossible to set warning and critical levels for their numbers. Setting these levels doesn't have any effect.

It would be desirable for the plugin to return a critical alert if a certain number of pending updates is exceeded.

That's correct. Until know I didn't see a need for this as one is usually interested to know "there are updates" and "everything is up to date". What what would be the benefit of a pure threshold based on the number of packages to update? Unfortunately this Proxmox API does not distinguish between security and other updates.
