<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>From the looks of it you are using
the default "check_host_alive" check for the host - this is a fancy
name for a ping check done for the host .<br>
<br>
the other checks are using other TCP ports and protocols that your
host/firewall allows and hence you get the "UP" for them .<br>
<br>
If you had set a dependency of check_host_alive -> all services on host ,
then once the host "failed" all the checks on the server would stop
and turn critical too.<br>
