Arguments on the check_command line are perfectly valid, however you aren't
using them correctly here.
Example time:
check_command check_tcp!1500
Within a service or host definition, something like this would execute the
defined command 'check_tcp' and pass it a $ARG1$ value of 1500. This would be
used like this:
define command {
command_name check_tcp
command_line $USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
}
This is documented in the Macros section:
