If I define the variables in the host object for "test-target" and not in the 
service object, I get the proper thresholds both for the "hostalive" check of 
the "test-target" host and for its "ping4" service. 

This is puzzling, as the "ping4" service does not see the variables on the 
object level, while the "test-target" host does:

The fact that your variables were in the service object but not in the host 
object led me to the assumption that you should get alerts for the host, not 
the service, but that wasn't correct either, leading to more confusion on my 
end. The ping4 service obviously inherits the vars.ping* settings from the host 
object, as the thresholds in perfdata are the same without showing up in the 
service object. At the moment I cannot seem to find how this happens, though 
... possibly some internal optimisation is going on, as strictly speaking the 
"ping" service and the "hostalive" check do pretty much the same. 

Maybe someone with better knowledge about the internal magic of Icinga 2 might 
be able to explain ...
