Of course the wget will not work .
register 0 tells nagios not to display the group in the WebUI ( it does 
more , but currently that is the relevant part) and as you are trying to 
access the data via a HTTP request , the item in question is not passed 
to the web provider (apache) and there for not coming up for a wget request.
