Metric for host liveness

[Sai p Seshasayee <sseshas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nathan,

I have installed PCP in multiple hosts.
I want to know whether  a particular host is up or not. Is there any
metric available in PCP which will help me
find whether a host is alive or not?
There are over 500 metrics in PCP and I am finding it difficult to find
correct metric. Your inputs would be welcome.

Thanks and Regards
