As far as I can see, you haven't said if the switch is back up.

You say that there are no parent relationships defined. I am assuming
that is true. but it is a critical point and might be worh confirming.

Can you confirm that that both host and service checks are being missed?

I'm going from memory here. My general strategy is to follow Ethan's
examples as closely as I can, and not be too creative.

That being said, a common problem is that there are no host checks
defined for a service, or the host checks cannot succeed. In that case,
the services behind the host will never be checked. Can this explain
part of the problem?
