DESCRIPTION:
   Your Promqlquery has to return a vector / scalar / matrix result. The warning and critical values are applied to every value.
   Examples:
       Vector:
           check_prometheus mode query -q 'up'
       --> OK - Query: 'up'|'up{instance="192.168.99.101:9245", job="iapetos"}'=1;;;; 'up{instance="0.0.0.0:9091", job="prometheus"}'=1;;;;

       Scalar:
           check_prometheus mode query -q 'scalar(up{job="prometheus"})'
       --> OK - OK - Query: 'scalar(up{job="prometheus"})' returned: '1'|'scalar'=1;;;;

       Matrix:
           check_prometheus mode query -q 'http_requests_total{job="prometheus"}[5m]'
       --> OK - Query: 'http_requests_total{job="prometheus"}[5m]'

       Search and Replace:
           check_prometheus m query -q 'up' --search '.*job=\"(.*?)\".*' --replace '$1'
       --> OK - Query: 'up'|'prometheus'=1;;;; 'iapetos'=0;;;;

           check_prometheus m q -q '{handler="prometheus",quantile="0.99",job="prometheus",__name__=~"http_.*bytes"}' --search '.*__name__=\"(.*?)\".*' --replace '$1' -a 'http_in_out'
       --> OK - Alias: 'http_in_out'|'http_request_size_bytes'=296;;;; 'http_response_size_bytes'=5554;;;;

OPTIONS:
   --address value  Prometheus address: Protocol + IP + Port. (default: "http://localhost:9100")
   -q value         Query to be executed
   -a value         Alias, will replace the query within the output, if set
   -w value         Warning value. Use nagios-plugin syntax here.
   -c value         Critical value. Use nagios-plugin syntax here.
   --search value   If this variable is set, the given Golang regex will be used to search and replace the result with the 'replace' flag content. This will be appied on the perflabels.
   --replace value  See search flag. If the 'search' flag is empty this flag will be ignored.
