What's the command line of your check_ping command (as defined in Nagios?) The correct syntax is: /path/to/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H <ip address> -w 2000,25% -c 4000,50%
whereby <ip address> is the IP of the machine to ping, 2000 is the round-trip time (in ms) to generate a warning, 25% is the packet-loss amount to generate a warning, and ditto for the critical. Also note there's a bug in the check_ping whereby if the "critical" parameters are incorrect, it says the error is with the "warning" parameters - so check that's not the case as well. And you do need the percent signs ;) Andy. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi guys am still running nagios and now there,s this error am getting with > the check_ping command.
