Enable the nagios debug ( see bottom of nagios.cfg file ) and test again 
what you insert .
Although the nagios debug file fills up and grows quite fast so you need 
to make sure to have sufficient space to have the input you want .

from what I know - external commands are logged in the nagios log - 
again check the option in the nagios.cfg
