Nagios only performs host checks if a service check on the host
fails. If all service checks are okay, then Nagios will just assume
that the host is up and not check it.  The hosts that report the
actual status either have or had one or more failed services.

If you want the data gathered by the host check command available
at all times, you'll need to make add it as a service check.
