I know. :)

Yes, previously I have no problem with it.

Yes, but it seems, that it reached only the second SOFT check:
[2016-07-14 10:36:55] HOST ALERT: myHost;DOWN;SOFT;2;(Host Check Timed Out)

A host down notification should came due to device reload, but it can be
possible, that check_interval is too high to perceive if a device is
unreachable (is in host down state) - check_interval = 5min, retry_interval
= 2min.

Yes.
[2016-07-14 10:34:15] SERVICE ALERT: myHost;PING_IPv4;CRITICAL;HARD;1;PING
CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

I don't use a ping service for service dependencies in that way, since if

Till I didn't configure dependencies, when a device went down, all of
related services notified too, this was the main problem. :( Unfortunately,
I inherited the whole Icinga configuration from my ex-colleague, so now I'm
on the way to fix some problems and configure new Icinga2 from the
beginning. :)
