since you define a command to wait a argument , you need to supply that in the command call in the 
check execution - meaning in the declaration of the service .
so your service definition should be something like this :

define service{
        use                             local-service         ; Name of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             HTTP
         check_command                   check_http!$ARG1$  
         notifications_enabled           1
         }

where  $ARG!$ is the "-p 8080 " string you with to direct the HTTP request to .
