That worked for PING (an active check) but its not working for passive
checks, which all the hosts I have monitored are configured by.
I have a DISK for all-hosts but I made a second definition in services.cfg
called DISK_WEB but since the info is a passive check its not working.
./check_disk sends the text DISK at the beginning of its output so I think
nagios is parsing that as DISK in which it already has another DISK
definition that it is checking.

cd /usr/nagios/libexec
# load average check
./submit_check_result_via_nsca LOAD `./check_load -w 1,1,1 -c 3,3,3`
# disk check
./submit_check_result_via_nsca `./check_disk -w20% -c10%`
./submit_check_result_via_nsca DISK_WEB `./check_disk -w20% -c10%`
./submit_check_result_via_nsca `./check_kernel`
# why do they look different? ask nagios why some commands include the
service name and others don't. Because of this, i had to add the "LOAD" to
the load avg line.

portion of my services.cfg

define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use

}
For the particular host I tried to setup up a passive check for DISK_WEB
nagios just says the status UNKNOWN.
Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!
