Grafana Plugin - NFS/CIFS Mount Service not presenting any data

CMK version: 2.4.0p2
OS version: Docker

Error message: No Error message. Just no data in Grafana

I have the CheckMK Datasource Plugin setup in Grafana (Current version of time of writing). There have been no problems obtaining states for most sensors on the devices I monitor, except when it come to NFS/CIFS mounts on Linux servers. Those sensors work fine in CheckMk, but the CheckMk Grafana Datasource Plugin does not pull “State” info for those sensors, so I am unable to present those mounts as being UP or Down in Grafana.

In Grafana when selecting “NFS Mount /File_Share” as the Service Source I get presented with following Metrics:

Packet Loss: No Data
Round Trip Average: No Data
Round Tip Minimum: No Data
Round Trip Maximum: No Data

I would expect that these metric would provide some data I could work with but they do not.

There is no option for “Service State”, which would ultimately be the metric is am looking for.

Am I missing something?

Should I be using a different Check MK Service to monitor NFS/CIFS mounts that would provide this information or is this an issue where the CheckMK Grafana Datasource Plugin just does not provide these metrics?

If this is not part of the Grafana Plugin where can I post a request to enhance the plugin with these metrics?
