install icinga web 2 on my ubuntu 18.04 pc, with the installation there is no problem, what happens is that when adding a host if it recognizes it even the ping service is up but the others do not like HTTP.  
The image shows the error it gives me

`Connection refused` (I assume this is the translation) could be caused by a number of things.

Two simple questions:

- Is SSH/HTTP running on ports `22` and `80` respectively? If not, you may need to change the port that the check is trying to talk to.
- If so, do you have a network firewall or firewall rule on the machine that prevents Icinga from checking these ports?

Also looks like you have an oddity with the `andrea: ssh` check where it is checking the `localhost` IP.
