Using Nagios to monitor "service-less" hosts

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

When I look at the scheduling queue - only services are listed to be 
scheduled (whereas before it used to include the hosts as well - the 
service column was blank for host checks.)

The host checks definitely are longer than a minute - so it has taken 
effect from the previous config - in the view config, 'enable active 
checks' reads 'No' for all hosts.

Can you see anything wrong here - this is a status printout for one of 
the hosts:

Host Status: 	
  UP
