Host w/o services are no longer doing check-alive-tests

[Ralf Mellis]

Hi, I'm using nagios 1.0 with plugins 1.3 on a linux host.
I have several hosts and services set up successfully.
The only drawback: I have some hosts with no services associated yet 
(routers), they have only a "check_command check-host-alive" in their 
host definition (defined as "command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1").
In the beginning (one week ago) all hosts were regularly checked with 
this command and reported as "UP" in the web gui. Since yesterday these 
hosts still are reported as "UP", but the last checks are executed the 
last time many hours in the past (up to 30h). In addition three newly 
defined hosts without services are in state "pending" since definition 
and reload/restart of the nagios process.
All other defined hosts with associated services are checked in the 
intervals defined in their host definition.
The changes I made in the last time were setting up "parents" 
definitions accordingly to my network layout. I have checked these 
definitions over and over and IMHO they seem to be OK ("nagios -v 
nagios.cfg" only gives some warnings regarding having hosts with no 
services associated).
In addition the status map is showing exactly what I wanted to define.

Do one have to define services for each host defined? I can't believe 
this, because a router in my opinion is fully functional (at least in 
the first step), if it is "alive" (reachable via ping).

Hmm...

Regards
