Read the objects configuration documentation. Basically the
"check_command" defined in the service is a refer to a command
definition (with possible arguments separated with '!'). The service
definition point to an actual command path and name, and often use
macros as well.

For more details on the plugin usage, run "check_http --help" from the
shell. The argument you want are probably something like this:

- -H myhost.net -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u /demo/

The -H and -u arguments can be passed as arguments from the service
definition so the same command can be re-used for different checks. See
$ARGn$ macros.
