Can you show us a full output of the check including all 3 performance data metrics?

Performance Data: queued_bw=0.02Mb/s;285.00;342.00; transmitted_bw=0.02Mb/s;285.00;342.00; drop_pkt=356;20;40;

Unless it is expected at some point that you will actually hit the warning and critical numbers, I would highly suggest altering those before looking to change the pnp template. This will make it so that your graph actually has some movement to it, whereas now it would only show a straight line just above 0, similar to what you see now. You might try a warning\critical of 5\10 or 15\30 and see how that works for you. I can fairly safely say that you don't appear to ever go near the current warning and critical values, so this may also provide a little bit more reasonable alerting if something is off.

i only want to plot following value which is drop_pkt=356 negative in graph template , so my ds_1 and ds_2 values will come up and ds_3 will come down
