You can't use Nagios to check remote machines without an auxiliary
utility. Download and check out nrpe - it'll do what you need.

In checkcommands.cfg command_line is the actual path to the plugin and
the command parameters. command_name is the name it's known as in
services.cfg.

in my checkcommands.cfg:

define  command {
        command_name    check_pop
        command_line    $USER1$/check_pop -H $HOSTADDRESS$
        }

Yes, in services.cfg, possibly with extra parameters when needed.

All of this is extensively documented and grepping and lessing around in
the original install config directories will get you very far - it's how
I learned.
