I usually define HSRP as a child of the two parent routers that are participating. Both routers have to be down before the HSRP is marked unreachable. Devices behind those routers can then use the HSRP object as their parent. In cases where the HSRP address is closer to the Nagios server, obviously you'd flip the parent/child around
