Can you post links to the two plugins? We might be able to take a look and make the changes. Barring that you can talk to the author and see if it could be added.

If you feel comfortable making the changes you could read up on Performance Data here:

https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html

Otherwise I would contact the plugin's author if I were you and ask them to include it.

Normally, we would not do this, however both of these are quite simple so I went ahead and made the changes. Give the attached plugin a shot and see if it will work for you. Note that it will take at least 3 checks before a graph will be generated.

As sreinhardt already mentioned this is not something we do.... we already did more then we normally would to help add this for you. I suggest you either ask the developer of the plugin, or you learn a bit of scripting to make the magic happen, we are not developers by trade either...

Hi

would tell us the logic what would required in the scripts that will help to generate the nagios graph. so i can try to understand the script and add the same to generate the graph.

I have checked the following diff I found with your file

| 'Connections'=$count;$opt_w;$opt_c;;";

what actually it do. So the same logic also I can apply into the other script also.

If you read through the plugin guidelines as slansing posted above, this adds performance data to your check. Thus allowing nagios with proper extensions, to make graphs for you. Specifically you need to read the performance data section from the plugins guidelines.
