This is different than what you're telling nagios to run.

Should be $ARG1$ (at the least).

command is: check_http
$ARG1$ is : confluence
$ARG2$ is : /display/

The command nagios will run based on this (assuming $ARG1$ is fixed  
above) will be --

/path/to/check_http -H <value of address in host definition> -u  
confluence

I don't know how you intended to use the confluence parameter so I  
can't tell you what you need to do to fix it but hopefully this is  
enough for you to figure it out.
