Hi,

I found a bug in pnp or check_fping but I wanted to know which component
is at fault before reporting a bug to the official bug database.

Problem is that check_fping reports rta and loss if a host is up and
only loss if the host is down:

kamera# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_fping eris          
FPING OK - eris (verloren=0%, rta=0,000000 ms)|loss=0%;;;0;100
rta=0,000000s;;;0,000000
kamera# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_fping orcos.cs.upb.de
FPING CRITICAL - orcos.cs.upb.de (verloren=100% )|loss=100%;;;0;100

pnp on the other hand does not generate a correct rrd file for both values.

Now my question. Is a plugin allowed to vary the fields of performance
data or not?
