Hi guys ive been using Host-keep-alive check for keeping my host status up as we do not have ping enabled, is there any alternative to check if the host is up and send notifications to users if the host goes DOWN.

As explained, you can choose to use a dummy command or a custom one (e.g a TCP check).

You can create your own check command, and configure it at the host level here:
