[Nagiosplug-help] check_ping

[Marc Belanger]

Can you run the command from the shell?

Example:

nagios @ miata: pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
nagios @ miata: ./check_ping -H miata -w .3,10% -c .5,20% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.16 ms
nagios @ miata: ./check_ping -H tbird -w .3,10% -c .5,20% -p 5
PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.38 ms

What are your command and service definitions? Do they follow the syntax that works form the command line, as the nagios user?
