I don't know how the check_command was removed from the original post.
This is the relevant hosts.cfg entry. Should I be assigning parameter
values in there as well? E.g.  check_command  check_temptraxe!1!75!80 

define host {
use                            generic-host
host_name                      temptrax
alias                          Datacenter Temperature Probes
address                         10.1.1.85
check_command                  check_temptraxe
max_check_attempts             10
notification_interval          120
notification_period            24x7
notification_options           d,u,r
}

Thanks,
Casey
