Something that your web server can write to, i.e.:

[sjb at monitor nagios]$ grep ^command_file /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
command_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
[sjb at monitor nagios]$ ls -l /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct  1 16:02 /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd 
[sjb at monitor nagios]$ id apache
uid=48(apache) gid=48(apache) groups=101(nagios),48(apache) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
