The results being reported are for the machine that nagios is running
on only. The check_local_* commands almost certainly don't take a
hostname parameter and always operate for localhost *. When checking
host 'master', check_local_load shows the load for the nagios machine;
when checking prodws01, check_local_load shows the load for the nagios
machine, etc...
As you suspect, you must use nrpe or some other remote connection
methodology to run those plugins on the remote host to get the results
you expect.
* unless the command{} defintion uses check_nrpe or other remote
connection methodology.
