Monitoring CPU load, System Performance and Zombie using Nagios

I have recently installed nagios to monitor few remote systems... the remote system latency is as below..

icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=254 ms

I have configured nagios to monitor the CPU load, Total Processes and Zombie process. It does send me an email for all the system hikes.. however in the additional info it specifies this message 

(Return code of 255 is out of bounds)

Since this is just an additional message, can i ignore this and trust Nagios on its notification ?

or is it because of the latency between the Nagios server and the monitored machine the Nagios could not appropriately get the information ?

This message means that the checks are failing.

You don't say what mechanism you're using to get information from the remote host (SNMP, NRPE or what have you), so I can't be more specific, but looking in Nagios's log file should give you more of a clue as to what's going wrong (defined by log_file in your Nagios config; on my system it's /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log).
