The best thing to do is start with reading Nagios' manual. Then, try the 
plugins on the shell.

Then, add things together - put the necessary things in the 
configuration file.

If it doesn't work then, report your problem - including relevant 
configuration data, system information, and faulty output.

Apart from that I can only confirm that I do know how to use plugins, 
and I can also confirm that some of them are very useful.
