check_graph_nt & passive checks

[Ian]

Is there a way for me to graph the info coming in from passive checks? do i run an event handler on it of the plugin itself?

All my check_nt's come in passive and i would like to graph the data.

any help is appreciated.

By definition passive check is send not regulary or graph need regulary data.
I think graph may only be used with active checks.

I use perfparse (http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/) for storing the performance-data in MySQL and producing graphs. This way the plug-ins don't have to write RRD files. Oreon supports PerfParse fine!. Now I didn't check this with passive checks, but if they deliver performance-data (data behind the '|' in the plugin-output) I would expect this to work for passive-checks too..
