What does service b output? > any ideas about what to track to find out why this happened would be highly > appreciated. My wild guess is that Nagiosgrapher doesn't know which of the two numbers "25" or "60" to parse (how could it?) so it doesn't. I strongly recommend you use plugins which follow the developer guidelines, producing the performance data after the "|". Even if the plugin doesn't produce any performance data, I would either re-write it so it does or would write a wrapper script to give Nagios correctly formatted performance data.
