You're also likely to find ample examples from the archives of this  
list and Google. You can expect it to be rare for you to be the first  
to try to do something.

The check_http plugin can check for a given string.  Try running it at
the command line with the --help option to see what it can do.

  check_http --help

For more general information on how to configure such checks, if you
find the online documention a bit hard-going, then I highly recommend
the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth which explains how Nagios works
from first principles and has sections on how to configure various
kinds of checks and addons.

hth,
