Your check_ping command definition is expecting two arguments passed to it as part of the service definition check_command. Specifically a warning point ($ARG1$) and a critical point ($ARG2$). Presuming that you want the same warning and critical values as you're using for your check-host-alive command then your service check_command should be 'check_ping!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100%'
