"No data received from host" - configuring alerts

Hello all
Do Nagios give us ability to configure alerts time of "No data received from host" message for all hosts?
Should I configure it on Host Management? And if so, what parameter exactly I should change?
I'm using NagiosXI 2012R2.2.
Thanks

Do you mean being able to see if a certain host has not submitted a check in a while? If so, you want to read up on freshness checks.

Here's the core documentation on the subject: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/freshness.html

I'm searching how to configure alerting of it, to set more attempts for "critical" and "warning" messages..

This document will show you how to set up passive checks, but more importantly starting on page 3 it explains how to set up freshness checks in Nagios XI.
