Sorry for the quick update, but don't want people to waste time, or
they may change based on my update.
Well, reading the http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_commands.html#load
page more, I am trying to understand a bit more. So my commands.cfg
file now looks like this;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
community -T netsl -w 3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -C community
}
and the server.cfg file looks like this;
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service$
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
All seems to be working now, I need to understand the alarm levels a
bit (that's easy reading) as well as figure if I even need the !netsl,
etc. on the check_command line.
But thanks for the push's in the right direction

I tried a few things after the _v1 but nagios kept failing on restart, so I
think I just need to figure out howto push the variables (such as hostIP ,
community name) to the check_command, right? Since changing the service to
use the new command, nagios is now red with the following error; Return code
of 255 is out of bounds
There are good docs on how to pass arguments to a check command.
Here's my pattern to bring new service checks online without mucking
about with the running nagios process:
1) Find the plugin on the host running nagios
2) Run the plugin manually as the nagios user with the arguments you
would like. Inspect the output. Is it what you expect?
3) If it is what you expect, compose the check command and service
definition exactly as your manual run, only use macro substitution as
per the documentation
4) Save your configs and check them before loading the new objects.
nagios -v nagios.cfg will automate this check and inform you that
everything is okay before you "go live".
5) If everything's okay, reload the configuration and check the web
interface for the new service check status.
