This should be doable. Basically, you'll want to use the threshold plugin and configure it to watch the metrics which indicate low usage. This is described in collectd-threshold(5). When a threshold is met, collectd will emit a notification event, which you can intercept in a custom script using the exec plugin's NotificationExec parameter. collectd-exec(5) has all the details.
