Host Assumed to Be Up

[Bishop, Dean]

i concur.  check_ping uses 4 pings by default.  Even when things are good
this can accumulate pretty quickly.  When things are bad, ping waits for the
each of the responses until it's timeout.
 
Using a plugin like check_telnet or check_tcp is _way_ faster.
 
later,

If possible, try using a service for these routers, such as check_telnet.

Newbie here.
 
I just installed Nagios yesterday and am doing nothing but ping monitoring
on 5 routers.  All the host status information fields say "Host assumed to
be up".  What does that mean?  I can't find it in the FAQ.  Can anyone point
me in the right direction?
 
Thanks for any help.
