Pending host checks

Mark,

Thanks for the feedback.
Please see my notes below.

Do these hosts have services associated with them? 
### Yes they all do and all of the service checks are working fine.

Nagios won't execute a host check until a service check fails.
Initially, if a service on the host is determined to be OK, the host is
assumed to be up and OK. If a service on the host is determined to be
CRITICAL, the host is checked with its host check command. If neither
apply (no service defined or some other service check failure), the host
remains PENDING with the comment above.

###  Ok, but in reading the config I am working on it looks like hosts
checks are disabled and I should see the status of "Host assumed to be
up".

This is the host definition.

define host {
        name                            GenericHost
        register                        0
        checks_enabled                  0
        event_handler_enabled           1
        notifications_enabled           1
        notification_options            d,u,r
        notification_interval           15
        notification_period             24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        retain_status_information       1
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        max_check_attempts              1
        check_command                   check-host-alive
}

This is the host itself.

define host {
        use                     GenericHost
        host_name               myhost.com
        alias                   myhost.com
        address                 xx.xx.xx.xx  
{

Thanks !!
