Host Assumed To Be Up + Availability Reports

[Pete Dewell]

You could also change the "First assumed state" dropdown in the report
to be "UP". That way the host is assumed to be up to start with, and the
availability report works better.

Don't forget, the host is only checked on a service state change (or so
I understand from the docs) so if the services are OK, you won't have
any data on the host state until the service state goes to warning or
critical.

I believe this is messing up my availability reports because any host that has this has undetermined for 100% of the time. I would like to change it so that Nagios checks these hosts with a ping also so that I can get an availability report that is correct. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working ?
