Surely someone else is > checking hosts on an intermittently slow network? seems like the values passed to -w and -c are round trip times that the check uses to gauge on. it isn't passing those values to fping when it runs fping. all it seems to pass is packet size, packet count and server. perhaps paste the results after running in verbose mode. if fping accepts a timeout, perhaps the check should be passing that to fping. the version of check_fping I'm looking at is: nagios-plugins-trunk-200809161200 > > Thanks, > ==ml > - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
[Nagios-users] check_fping timing
Hi, At times, latency rises on my network. I'm trying to give check_fping a high timeout, 10 seconds to warn and 12 for critical. It seems that check_fping returns too quickly, however. Here, I've cranked up the warn and critical levels to an absurd level for illustration purposes, and timed the process. # /usr/bin/time ./check_fping -H roxsw001 -w 100.0,80% -c 1200.0,100% -b 56 FPING CRITICAL - roxsw001 (loss=100% )|loss=100%;80;100;0;100 0.51 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys The check returns in half a second. Obviously, my timeout isn't working. Any thoughts on why this is, or what I can do? Surely someone else is checking hosts on an intermittently slow network? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

Yes, thank you, I just discovered that. However, all I got from check_fping was "FPING - WARNING", somewhat misleading. A bit of guesswork and trial and error showed that the check_fping has to be executed as root. In my environment all nagios processes are run by nagios, so I did the suid trick and now it works.

[Nagios-users] check_fping
Hi All! I'm trying to use the check_fping plugin and when I run it separately on the command line it works just fine, but when I let nagios run it I always get a warning status.
