Hmm... where did the '&graph_name=nagios-ping' come from? I haven't used 
nagiosgraph much yet (still setting it up), but I've never seen that... 
also, I don't think you have to put the 'http://localhost' bit either 
(although it probably doesn't hurt).

Try defining the notes_url without those components, like this:

	notes_url	/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$

That would make sense, as there are no variables to supply to show.cgi.
