How can we graph data from custom checks? For example, I have a check that checks for replication lag on a db, how do I graph this data? This is not mysql by the way but I do have the replication lag check working and alerting.

Thanks

Performance data comes after the | character, you will need to have your plugin output the data in the format that nagios understands, once it does the data will be graphed automatically.

Thanks. It looks like I will have to enhance my plugin to generate perf data.
