Hosts checks not done when there is no service configured?

[Cook, Garry]

Yes, that's completely normal. Please read the fine manual at:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/
Specifically, the Network Reachability portion of the Theory of
Operations section:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html
And the FAQ at: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=39 

Thanks,
Garry

Hi there,

I'm configuring Nagios and it seems that host-checks (check_command
check-host-alive) aren't queued. I need to add a PING service on each
host, to keep track of the uptime. Is this normal? I'd like to keep
track of ISP routers at customers sites, so we can see if a fallout is
caused by our devices or by the ISP.

I'm using Nagios 1.3, the latest package from the stable Debian branche.
