Nagios reports its own host as DOWN

Hi,
I installed nagios4-4.1.1_5,1 on a FreeBSD 10.3 jail. (It's my first
time with Nagios)
I managed the core to show up as working, and the system now lists its
first host (the one it is installed on) -- as DOWN.
Small wander, because the way it checks this is by pinging "localhost"
(/sbin/ping -n -c 5 127.0.0.1 ), although ping is disabled in my jail
(as per default), and its localhost address is changed to 127.0.0.3.
How can I correct this checking? I found there is a script for checking
FreeBSD jails
(https://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=1859&cf_id=24)
but, again, I can't find any hint of how to use it or whether it can
help me at all. Will I be able to check services on jails of other
machines?
Thanks for any advice,
-Alnis
