Hi,

the Nagios plugin needs to pubish its monitoring data on the /diagnostic 
topic. Msg type needs to be a DiagnosticArray with DiagnosticStatus 
items for each entity you have monitored.

You will find good tutorials on how use the ROS diagnostic stack on 
http://wiki.ros.org/diagnostics/Tutorials.

Best Regards,
     Dominik Kirchner
