Looks like I'm very close. Another question. Am I correct that the variable 
$host and $service should match the strings we defined in services.cfg? 

Here is an example of what I mean: 

define service{
       use             nt-service-templace
       host_name       iisserver1
       service_description            w3svc
       check_command   ""
       } 

my $cmd = "[$epoch] 
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;iisserver1;w3svc;$nagios_code;$msg"; 

I can use variables there but I hardcoded it for clarity. 

And also, after reading and reading topics about this, swatch or nagios 
doesn't have to work together. Although, swatch just needs to populate the 
nagios.cmd with the format that NAGIOS is expecting. Am I right? 

Let me know. 

Thanks again.
