We have a jboss section on Nagios Exchange. One of those plugins should be able to help you out.

Do we have to install agent on jboss server ?

If you read in the instructions on the page of the plugin it will tell you what you need to do. In most cases the plugin is going to go in the Nagios server, some plugins my require and additional component go on the server it is checking.

Ok. Here do we have to install agent on jboss or plugin is enough to monitor require data

The one here has a component that you put on both ends. This one has almost 100,000 hits. I would try using this one first.

following this url to monitor jboss

http://jboss2nagios.sourceforge.net/

It says Edit your Nagios config to use the check_mbean_collector to monitor any attributes of any MBean.
Using Nagios XI which file should i edit & what please guide

In this case it looks like it is walking you through making a service check for check_mbean_collector. You would want to put the plugin in your /usr/local/nagios/libexec folder,and write a service check and command using Configure ---> Core Config Manager. If you need help with these steps, please let us know.

using command line I am able to see the output of below command

./check_mbean_collector -H jbosseserver -p port -m java.lang:type=Memory -a NonHeapMemoryUsage -w 10 -c 30

what will be the command & service argument....tried doing but no output. any help really appreciate

Can you please post the service and command definition you created? We can troubleshoot it from there.
