Hosts checks when host can't be pinged.

I have several hosts behind a firewall that does not allow pings and
would like to only monitor their status only by services and not via
hosts.cfg. To this end I've added this generic in hosts:
define host{
name generic-d ; The name of this
host template - referenced in other host
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are
enabled event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event
handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information
across program restarts
check_command dummy
parents rw-pix
max_check_attempts 10
# check_interval 0
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION
- ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
The "dummy" check command is defined as:
define command{
command_name dummy
command_line $USER1$/check-dummy 1
}
But I'm getting:
[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;HARD;10;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;9;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;8;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;7;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;6;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;5;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;4;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;3;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;2;(No output!)
Host Down[05-25-2005 16:06:04] HOST ALERT: dns1;DOWN;SOFT;1;(No output!)
... How can the dummy script time out? Am I doing something wrong? Is
there a way I can just turn off host checks and rely on service checks?
let me know :)
