+I've written this extremely simple local check for the check_mk_agent.  If you've installed the agent on your Pi-Hole place this into an executable file wherever your check_mk_agent expects to find local plugins.  Alternatively this could be installed on any system that has access to the Pi-Hole console, I decided to put it on the Pi-Hole directly.  I named mine "mk_pihole_stats.py" but as long as it's in the correct subdirectory and the agent script can execute it it should work just fine.
