Good timing, I've been playing with this for a while and haven't been
able to get it to work.

Here's my analysis.cfg entry:

HOST=connect-mn.localhost DS trends cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd:ds0 > 30 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Exceeding 30 logged in users"

I was sending it to trends because the rrd that I want to alert on
doesn't have its own test.  I also tried conn and another one that
doesn't exist.  The cmrtgusers.connect-mn.rrd exists in
/home/hobbit/data/rrd/connect-mn.localhost, and I am getting a graph
on the trends page for it with data.
The "trends" column cannot change color, it will always be green.

I am not sure, but I think you shouldn't have any space between the '>' 
and '30'. It would be pretty bad for the parser to trip on that, so if 
that is the problem please let me know so I can look at improving it.
