Here you appear to be telling nagios that any RTA greater than 100ms is
WARNING and anything above 500ms is CRITICAL. Based on the log entries
above your network is experiencing latencies above 500ms and setting a
CRITICAL status as you've specified. It looks like you either need to
determine the cause of your network latencies and get them back under
100ms or increase the values that nagios will notify you at.
