Not all of the plugins currently support Performance Data. To get the
maximum number of perfdata supporting plugins, you should use the latest
CVS version, available from the Nagios Plugin page on SourceForge.

To my knowledge, there are only two add-ons that will graph data within
Nagios. These are APAN and PerfParse. PerfParse uses the performance
data returned by the plugins, while APAN uses another method. Links to
both of these add-ons can be found from the Add-On section of the Nagios
web site.
