nrpe_process Plugin Doesn't Produce Performance Graphs?

I am using the nrpe_process plugin and NRDS to monitor the CPU utilization on Windows machines. It outputs Info of the form:

Code: Select all

NOW: Mean:100.000000% Variance: 0.000000% CUMULATIVE: Mean:100.000000% Variance: 0.000000%
Which does a handy job of informing us if the CPU of a box becomes pegged.

One problem though is that it doesn't produce a performance graph, which would be really handy.

My suspicion is that something is malformed about the Info in the way that it doesn't work well for whatever process produces the graphes on the XI interface. Is this correct?

Not all of the plugins return perfdata. Click on the service from the web UI, then click on the "Advanced" tab under "Service Status Detail" page. Do you see anything on the "Performance Data:" line under "Advanced Status Details"?
