This works, too, when you only want to parse the process checks for apache.

You give the RRD description the name "connections". I don't think that the
number of Apache processes really represent the number of connections.
In this case, I suggest you use check_netstat.pl.

It's check_procs which doesn't create perfdata. You might  need to manually
patch it. See:
