I would take a look at the usage text on the exchange listing below the download link:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... me/details

Here, the writer explains how to configure and integrate the plugin with NSClient++ and Nagios, as well as how to define a command to retrieve information from it, this is not something we can test here however, since we do not have the required software it pulls data from.

I have followed the steps to configure the plugin, however i didnt get the results properly. kindly let me know how to get rid of this issue.. thanks!!

It does not look like you properly followed the directions as the way you are trying to pass "-a" values to the plugin is invalid, the page outlines in what format to call the plugin properly:

7. Add new Nagios "service" to check status of the backup job.
* The backup policy name that you want to check the latest policy status have to be set to $ARG1$ in the "service" setting. $ARG2$ is number of hours to go back, e.g., daily 24, weekly 168.

The command looks right, and you are getting an "ok" returned. What is the issue with it?

I dont know whether its right or wrong, is there any option to see the results in detail. As of now i dont have any failure jobs to confirm this..any clue over this.. thanks!!

I checked the plugin source at it is not very verbose. You will have to set up a test mock failure to see if he plugin returns the expected exit code.
