Hosts in PENDING State

[Andy Smith]

Hello,

I have several hosts configured with active checks enabled and the
check_command set to check-host-alive which is defined in the command
file. The state on these hosts always stays in pending unless I manually
schedule a check. I noticed that in the sample "localhost" configuration
there is a PING service that simply pings the host. Do I need to
associate some sort of a service with each host before they will be
checked? Is there something that I have missed in the documentation that
will cause host checks to be recorded without associating a service with
each host? I did see something similar in a GMane search, but the
articles did not seem to be available.

Regards,

Andy Smith
