host, no service

to the best of my knowledge, if you don't have any services defined for
a host, you'll never know if it's up or down.  You should define at
least a check_ping.

I use to do this but now I find with so many hosts, my load is too much,
which was causing all sorts of problems. Is there any disadvantage of
having no services defined for a host, other than have a warning when u
check the configuration files. -Zaineb

It doesn't.  So I create "ping" services right now to handle this
scenario.
