Yes, this is good. You probably have check_ping associated with the
hosts as the 'host-check'. In other words, if Nagios determines that a
service on your host is down, it will use 'check_ping' to check if the
host is alive.

This means that the hosts have not yet been checked, either because no
services have yet failed on a host, or no services have been associated
with the hosts.

Yes, most likely there are no service checks associated with any of your
hosts. If there were, you would see services listed under 'Service
Details'.

Go back and read the docs again. Start with the one that I pointed out
in my previous email.
