Thanks 

It looks like it is a plugin/performance data issue.
I had tackled several nagios server and plugin
challenges over the past week which confused the
issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Stuart,

You seem to have some interesting problems.

My guess is that the plugins do not produce performance data.  For 
instance shown after the '|':

OK - load average: 0.38, 0.50, 0.50|load1=0.380;1.500;2.000;0.000 
load5=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000 load15=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000

Can you run your plugins from the command line using the same parameters 
as Nagios and ensure that they all produce performance data similar to 
that above?

Regards,

Ben
