checking host alive or service ping check

[Felipe Ferreira]

Hello all,
What is the difference between checking a host is alive with a check in 
the host template (check_command check-host-alive), witch I have defined 
as a PING.
And creating a ping service applied to the host ? I did a test with both 
configurations, and didn't see a different behavior.
The only big advantage I have with the Ping is the graphics witch I 
really need, so I am wondering if I could disable host-alive check, and 
make it depend on the ping service check? BTW I use centreon.

cheers,
