Reread the section on Central Server Configuration at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html.

Once you have verified you have host and service definitions for your
distributed checks (i.e. host 'Vision' and service 'freespace') on your
nagios host and enabled passive checks for the services (and/or host if
you are using 2.0), notifications etc are just like a normal active
check.
