Core Config Manager

Quick question, in the Core Config Manager what does; if anything, when creating a service you select a service template do exactly?

I am having difficulty executing a command that I use in the Red Hat Linux Virtual Machine (VM); "./check_snmp -H localhost -C public -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.6" -r 'Intel' which yields a result stating "SNMP OK - Intel", in the Nagios Web interface. When setting up the service through Core Config Manager for my localhost I create a service and select the "check_snmp" check command and I am given the following command view "$USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$" where $ARG1$ is the OID I mentioned earlier. However, this does not work correctly. Instead, the status I get back is unknown and the information yielded states "SNMP problem - No data received from host". What am I doing wrong here? It seems as though something is missing from the check command, but I am unsure as I am still quite new to Nagios. Also, I went to the "Configure Service" label; alternate method for modifying services, and tried to see what the settings were that are actually being used and I saw the following in the "Monitor the service with this command...", check_snmp!.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.6 !!!!!!!. This looks a bit off to me, but this window is said to be used only for advanced users. Please help!
