Host monitoring

[Jerad Riggin]

I understand this part, but for example right now the service
description for each host is CheckString.  That way I can group all of
them into a service group based on that description so we can pull
availability reports for the host and the only service being
monitored.  If I wanted to do it your way, wouldn't I have to use the
service description of each check in the servicegroups config file?
