You can find how to do it in the apan howto.
http://apan.sourceforge.net/doc/howto.html#net

In addition, this is how I do to check host load
using snmp:

1.- CONFIG NAGIOS services.conf

define service{
         use                             generic-service
         host_name                       HOST_NAME
         service_description             load
         is_volatile                     0
         contact_groups                  net-admins
         check_command                   apan!snmpget!5!20
         normal_check_interval           3
}


2.- CREATE THE RRD FILE
# rrdtool create /PATH/TO/nagios/rrd/HOSTNAME_load.rrd -s 60 \
         DS:1min:GAUGE:300:0:U: DS:5min:GAUGE:300:0:U: \
         DS:15min:GAUGE:300:0:U: RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:50400 \
         RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:43800

chown nagios:nagios /PATH/TO/nagios/rrd/HOSTNAME_load.rrd


3.- ADD THIS LINE IN APAN.CFG

HOSTNAME;load;/PATH/TO/NAGIOS/rrd/HOSTNAME_load.rrd;public:.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1|public:.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2|public:.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3;1min:LINE2 
5min:LINE2 15min:LINE2;Load;%;


4.- Add an icon and a link as extended service-info:

define serviceextinfo{
host_name               HOSTNAME
service_description     load
notes_url           /nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=HOSTNAME&service=load
icon_image              graph.png
icon_image_alt          Load-Stats
}
