What happens when you use the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tomcat.pl plugin from the command line? That is usually the best place to start troubleshooting the issue.

It looks like you are trying to run this against localhost. What is the IP address of the dspace host?

IP address of the dspace host is 172.16.1.2

And what happens when you run the command against that host from the command line. We should focus on getting the results you want in the command line before we worry about services.
