check-host-alive and ping service check

[AJay]

I think you just get things complicated. These two checks are both default definition. In my case, I just disabled the PING service.

 Subject:  [Nagios-users] check-host-alive and ping service check

  
 Hi,
 
 I noticed that the check-host-alive and the PING service are the same checks. This unecessarily creates double checks and duplicate rrd data if you have both of them on. But the dashboard views are better when you have both of them so my question is... how can I consolidate these two checks so that either the PING uses the check-host-alive data or the check-host-alive uses the PING's data and checks?
