Curse Evolution's reply behavior. Now with cc-list goodness.

Have you specified a check_command in the host definition? If one is
specified, when a service check fails, Nagios will run the host
check_command and suppress reporting failures of other service checks on
the host.

define host{
        name                            generic-host
        notifications_enabled           1
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        failure_prediction_enabled      1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        register                        0
        check_command                   check-host-alive
}


define command {
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}


All of my hosts inherit ("use") generic-host. If you're not into
templates, specify "check_command check-host-alive" in each host
definition.

Or am I missing your intent?
