Written for Aruba ClearPass Monitoring. Based on "Clearpass API Monitoring" originally created by Benjamin Hoch at pronexon GmbH (https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/checkmk-mkp-clearpass)

My version (2.4.0) cleaned the code a bit and added monitoring for the last 20 log lines of all discovered ClearPass extensions. I did this, because I've found out that some extensions may be in a running state, but won't function in the correct way, because there are unresolved erros within the log file which need attention and/or a extension restart.
