Options that come to mind --
 - Modify check_http to output in the format you want 
 - create a wrapper script to use as your check_http_alias command that
takes the arguments above, executes check_http, capturing both it's text
output and exit code, prints the output you want and exits with the
check_http exit code.
- write your own version of check_http
- use the service_description to display the name of the alias instead
of manipulating the output of check_http. Each alias probably has its
own service definition I would expect.
