Host checks without service check

[Stephen J. Scheck]

Hello,

Is there a way to have Nagios execute a host check (e.g. a simple 
check-host-alive ping) without having any service checks defined for 
that host? Whenever I configure hosts without configuring service checks 
for them, nagios gives me configuration file warnings, and then the host 
checks remain in "pending" state.

I have some devices that I only need to monitor for ping-ability. I 
solved the problem by also adding a service check which also just does a 
ping, but I'm wondering if I missed something and there is a simpler way 
to do it.

Thanks -sjs
