Host Assumed to Be Up

[Marc Powell]

Nagios is primarily a service-centric monitor. Host checks are only
executed when a service on that host returns a Non-OK status. Nagios is
basically telling you that since a service on that host is currently ok,
the host itself must be up so Nagios doesn't need to check it. If your
check_ping service were to fail then Nagios would execute an active
check of that host.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Assumed to Be Up
 
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.
