Title: Add Check_MK service for hosts without passive services
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.2.0i1
Previously we only added the <i>Check_MK</i> service if the host had no
passive services.
We now add it always, unless the host is a ping-only host.
Originally the main job of the <i>Check_MK</i> service was to trigger the
passive services, so it was not needed for hosts without them.
However, for a while now the service also reports the success of the data sources, which
may be relevant for hosts without passive services as well.
In particular, a failing data source may be the reason why we don't see passive
services in the first place.
For example there are special agents that only create services on piggybacked hosts.
If you configure such an agent on a dedicated host, you would not have seen the status of
the agent at all.
