Hello everyone.

I have a simple question:

on my Nagios XI I added a Windows Server Host.
So obviously I got 2 Ping: The HOST one and the "Service Ping".
The configuration is the same, they Check every 5 minutes.
But why, the graphics are different? (In the picture I deleted the Server title).

Image

Which of the two the most reliable? I should check both the graphics?

Thank you very much.

One is not more reliable than the other. The host online status is generally checked by a ping, but you can change that to be checked by anything that you want to check it. Also, the image you uploaded didn't work.
