Here is my template for my hosts.<br>

I am using the standard "check-host-alive" command defined in the
checkcommands.cfg file. <br>
<br>
define command {<br>
command_name check-host-alive<br>
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">If I understand you
correctly then I should not need to define a service to
"check-host-alive" in the services.cfg file? <br>

so unless you've defined a command for a given type of check
Nagios isn't doing it.

<pre wrap="">I have been reading through the docs and I cannot find a definitive
answer to this. Does Nagios do a ICMP host check automatically? Is
this something that need to put in the nagios.cfg file? I have been
defining an ICMP "check-host-alive" command on each host. Now I think
that Nagios is double ICMP checking all hosts.
