I don't quite understand, you had a check_command defined but it was
blank? 

I tried this but it throws an error for me when I verify the
configuration.

As for actually having an undefined check_command in a host definition,
I use a few of these in 2.0 and they work as expected. They simply list
(null) for output in the cgis.
